Final settlement?!
Question:
Final settlement?
Insurance or laywer payout?
Not sure what to do at this stage.
Insurers are willing to compensate me for a fall.
Am getting conflicting advice.
Some say go to laywer for sure, insurance will rip me off.
Others say don't go to laywer as they will take a chunk of your compensation and you may be left with far less than the insurance offer.
In general which one do you think accept, laywer or insurer
I have been offered a FINAL settlement of $20,000 plus 3 months wages paid in advance.
$20,000 is for pain and suffering, i had a slip and fall on ice, all my tests are ok, i have seen a neurologist as i still get dizzy, word mixing probs, headaches, short term memory, ct scans are normal but i still have ongoing pain in my shoulder and neck and it is very painful, i may not be able to work in future because of this.
Neurologist expects i will improve in 3 months with the symtoms.
I spoke to lawyer and he thinks he could get me a LOT more for my case, he said the offer was very low.
