I am dealing with an attourney regarding workmans comp claim that I have ongoing. What determines the final settlement payout? Is it the longer the case is open. Meaning the longer it goes the more cash settlement, or is there other determining factors?

No, the length of time has nothing to do with it. In fact, it's not a good sign. The determining factors are: (1) your injuries; (2) your medical expenses; (3) wages lost; (4) resulting long-term disabilities (if any) and, of course, fault

probably the lawyer does

The length of your claim being open has no bearing on the amount of disability settlement you are entitled. What does factor into your settlement are of course Attorney fees if rep'd, your injury, age, body part that was injured, doctor report of course, and future med, if any.
