  Thanks to jgnat for finding me some resources and exjdub for getting me off my butt and into action.

  Anyway, I finally got hold of a lawyer who told me that I did not have to accept a "Compromise and Release" offer. In fact, "They might even offer you more money," he said, "and then you'll have to make up your mind."

  So I wrote a polite email: "After long thought and a consultation with an attorney, I have decided to decline your offer of $10,000 in lieu of future medical."

  Today the claims adjuster replied, "Thank you. But if you ever change your mind, just call me or [the HR lady].

  So everything's jake, and I can go on to the next thing: getting my business in gear...

  Congrats! Yeah, they tried to railroad my mom too. She took them to court and won a pretty penny.

  Thank you so much for the update. I put out ideas all the time, and I never know which ones stick. It sounds like my contribution, at least, spurred you in to action. WOO HOO.
