If your disability makes it impossible for you to maintain gainful employment, then you should qualify for SSI or SSD. Medical insurance is most likely available too, but may differ from state to state. You will need a lawyer who will probably take your case for a percentage (~25%) of your lump settlement. You may have to wait a year or more before you actually see any money. It might not hurt to check different laywers to see what their fees are. There are usually laywers that specialize in these types of cases.
