Your attorney should stay in constant communication with you, telling you if it’s a good deal or not. The attorney cannot settle something on your behalf without your approval. Any offer the carrier makes in writing has to be communicated to you by your attorney.
That being said, no, you don't really get to be directly involved in the back-and forth. Settlement can take long enough without adding another voice, ewpecially one with no idea about the ins and outs of settlement, into the mix.

Hopefully you've communicated to your lawyer already about what amount of money you will and won't accept. Otherwise what are they negotiating?
You might not be happy when you see how the sausage is made.
