It is not automatic. You have to prove you have long term damage.

No. Workers' compensation laws forbid an employee from suing his or her employer.
However, an injured employee may file a lawsuit against a third party such as the manufacturer of a defective product that led to an injury or a general contractor.

It dependents on your attorney. I was able to get a settlement from work compensation after refusing surgery and getting better, but it will be smaller.

When you're well, what do you need a settlement for? Settlements are for when you're permanently disabled, and can't work again. It's instead of being paid partial wages until you retire.
So. When you're well, you won't get a settlement.

it would depend on the injury, will you be healed or will you have a disability? if you have a disability then you could end up with a settlement

That depends on whether or not your injuries fully heal, and whether your injury was caused by negligence on the part of the company.

Talk to a lawer in your state. Every state is different when it comes to workmen's comp.
Good luck.
