Brief explaination of accident: My son 10yrs old who has a degenerative bone disease slipped and fell at a local Mall on a spill in the entrance/foyer area of the mall. Everything was documented at the time. My downfall was not rushing him to the ER. I had 5 children at the time with me. He did not apprear to have any broken bones but was very sore. He stayed in bed for about 6 days and then started walking some on his on and some with his crutches. Shortly there after he had to be put on total bedrest due to untolerable pain and at his check-up appt with the Shriner's Hosptial was diagnosed with a 3 inch fracture going down his femur. The femoral head that was in regrowth stage was now recollasping. This relaspe in him all goes back to his fall at the Mall.
I am dealing with the insurance company myself...I've talked with several lawyers and none with good result. I spoke with the rep from the insurance company yesterday and he asked how much I was looking at asking for. MY Reply was "You would have to make an offer and I will tell you if I'd accept it".
I need to find out if that was a good or bad move. They've taken my statement(only written by investigator not recorded) and have medical records showing my son having to have surgery to correct the problem. I would like to know how much someone with experience thinks this claim is worth. I'm not looking to get rich but my son's therapy bills are needing to be paid and I feel that his pain & suffering should have some benefit.
Anyone who could give advise ...thank you.
