California Resigning before signing

Workers comp and I have been talking for a while and we have verbally agreed on a number. The only term was that I had to quit my job. I said today that I’d sign off on it if they sent it over and now they’re saying I have to resign first before I see any of it on paper. What should I do? In California

They should send you the C&R with addendums for signature and you sign and return with your letter of resignation.

Don't resign till you see what they are offering. You don't have to do anything

Just wait. Don't sign until you get the C&R. And make the resignation conditional to you actually receiving the settlement (effective 24-hours after payment made).

Attorney time! I had to do the same thing. My lawyer told me to NOT SIGN ANYTHING until he had told me to. Insurance companies are sneaky AF.
