Yes. The attorney works for you and your interests such as personal property, medical expenses, lost wages and settlements for pain and suffering. The insurance company, either yours or theirs, works for the insurance company and will give you only the minimum required by law based on a scale which computes market value of personal property, exact costs of medical expenses, exact lost wages from time off of work due to injury and as close to zero that they can legally come to in settling pain and suffering compensation.

While you are waiting on the lump settlement is the insurance carrier for my workmens comp still required to pay out weekly payments as before?
