A:
You have not asked a question.
This Q&A board is not a place to solicit an attorney to work for you. It is a place to get general legal guidance.
Speak to your attorney about this. You cannot be forced to sign a settlement that you do not agree with. However before you walk away from a negotiated settlement be sure you understand the risks of doing so.
It might also be a good idea to have an employment law attorney look at the circumstances surrounding the employer's refusal to return you to work. There are not enough facts to indicate whether that action violated your rights, but it should be explored.
Good luck to you.
A:
more info is needed.
either ask your attorney for an explanation or contact another worker's comp lawyer.
if the worker's comp lawyer said your first lawyer did something wrong causing you to lose money, then maybe you have a legal malpractice case against him. If that was the case maybe the new worker's comp lawyer can direct you...............and consider using punctuation.
it is hard to read your missive.
