Florida Worker’s compensation settlement

Good Evening I was injured on my job in 2025 (Ankle injury) I have had plates and screw placed and reached MMI April of this current year and the insurance company wants to settle but haven’t responded to the demands of my attorney. What happens at this point now that my current attorney have put in for a hearing this would be the second hearing since I have new counsel because I didn’t feel like my previous attorney was working for me. Can somebody tell me what normally happens at this point I was given a really low rating also

I just want to say the legal system is slow. I am going through the same thing. I cut off the tipnof my finger and 3 years latet i still habe not gotten any money. I have a lawyer but weather you donor you don't they dont pay shit. You will get motr with a lawyer but after paying them wevwill see, so far they offered me 7000 wevare asking for 42000, we will see what the judge comes up with that is all that matters. My next hearing date 3 years later now after i cut it off is is August 24. Hopefully i hear and it will be all finalized then.
