and I have asked my job for a settlement. They have agreed on a settlement. Now I am unsure of if I want to leave my job. I think I should get a note from my doctor getting a release to go back to full duty. Do you think they will fire me if I stay and not get a settlement now?

If I was your employer, I would wonder why the change of heart...and not rehire you.

If i was your employer i would be very thankful i don't have to pay my portion of the workman's comp settlement.
does this settlement let them off the hook for future medical bills related to the injury? I work with a woman who had fallen at her previous job years ago. She took the workmans comp then returned to work upon feeling better when everyone else told her to get an attorney. She now has severe medical problems that have developed from the original fall 10 years ago.
be sure you are fully aware of what you are about to do whether you take the settlement or return to work.

That information is in a national database for all employers / prospective to see.
NO! Do not allow them to FORCE you back to full duty ahead of time! It could cost you your settlement.
You need to talk to your attorney about this. If you don't have an attorney, GET one!!! FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
