Personal Injury settlement


At a restaurant I fell and fractured my hand. Restaurant agreed that they were liable for the accident. With lost of wages and medical expenses, medical prognosis I have claimed "X" amount. They have come back saying its too much claim value and requesting me to submit my last four years Tax returns and all hospital bills.
Can I submit my Tax returns to them?
Any advise is appreciated.

If you are filing a lost wages claim, you must provide proof of income.

I would think that copies of a few paystubs (before and after the incident) would suffice. I don't see why they need your entire tax returns, esp not for 4 years.

I would guess that OP is self employed, and that is why they want the info.

I suspect that if the injured patron was not employed at the time, he or she wouldn't have been in the restaurant in the first place.

That's an absurd assumption, not to mention no one said a thing about OP being UNemployed.
