I would need more information. In Virginia if you have a compensable accident, you should have lifetime medical coverage for your injury and you have the possibility of 500 weeks of compensation. However, compensation can end if you return to work or are released with no work restrictions. If due to your injury, you cannot work then you should be very careful about settling your case. Once a case is settled medical coverage is cut off. The insurance company no longer has any obligation to make payments. You need to have this reviewed by an experienced Virginia Workers Compensation Lawyer. I have been representing claimants on these type of cases for over 35 years.
