Personal job injury

Got injured at work for many years of typing. Had shoulder injury and wrist is still under treatment. Insurance Company handling the case wants to settle with a one lump sum. Dr. said I have lost 1% of movility and I am 55. My wrist is still under treatment and Dr. said may require surgery. How is the settlement calculated? and how much could I expect? How will it affect my health insurance
