What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State
I was taken to small claims court on an auto accident for not having car insurance, the plantiff did not like my first offer (2000.00 for dammages and a hospital visit), so we went to trial. He did not show up for court on trial date, so the judge dismissed the case. The next day he calls and asked if I can offer 2500.00 dollars, we could come to an agreement for damages and hospital bill. Then he says he has had flashbacks of the accident and he wants to see a doctor about it. Its been three months since the accident, and he has been in other accidents before (2 years pryer), Is he trying to pull a quick on me? Can he try and sue me again for other doctor bills after we settle on the damages and hostpital visit? Would it fall under small claims or cival court? Is it best to offer an extra 500.00 dollars to include everything and any other doctor visits and put it writing that we are done with the whole thing? What should I do?
