A comp settlement trades future benefits for a lump sum. Three checks first: does the settlement close your future medical rights (a fair-looking number can be terrible if it does)? Is your impairment rating solid — insurer doctors rate low, and you can usually challenge with an independent exam? And was anyone besides your employer involved — because a third-party claim pays pain and suffering that comp never does.
Oklahoma PPD: your impairment percentage × 360 weeks, paid at 70% of your average weekly wage but capped at a flat $375/week — with all PPD awards together capped at 350 weeks. Settlements then negotiate around that formula number — down for present-value and disputed ratings, up when the insurer wants to close future medical exposure.

Not your employer, in most cases — comp is the exclusive remedy. But if anyone else contributed to the injury (a negligent driver, a defective machine's manufacturer, a subcontractor), a third-party claim can pay full damages including pain and suffering, alongside the comp claim. That's the most commonly missed money in work-injury cases.
