You need to have an attorney to deal with these issues for you. They will keep the insurance company from harrassing you, and they know what a fair settlement is. People on their own usually have unrealistic expectations, and can therefore end up getting nothing.

if it is a work related injury you do not have much of a choice with settlement,I would speek to lawyer.

make sure that your settlement includes medical bills, current and future and any lost wages, pain and suffering. Your lawyer will determine this for you.

I don't think you should ever settle on a back injury because it could always get worse
