And yes, no typo, he went 2k lower on the settlement total, stating that he didn't have a year to wait for a lawyer.

I'll be using a this form (Xs replace the names on the dcoument). Sorry if it's a lot to read. It's 6 pages, but I just copy-pasted here, so some spacing may be weird. General Release of Liability THIS GENERAL RELEASE (this "Agreement") dated this 1st day of April, 2019 BETWEEN: XXXXXXXXXX...

Will one document handle the entire matter, or do I need one for each portion (auto, medical)? If so, the other party has already broken it down to what he wants for each portion.

Holy crap, guy just called and is offering us 25,000 to get this whole matter cleared. Is it enough to have him sign an agreement that he is satisfied and will seek no further litigation on this matter, and get it notarized and signed by both parties?

Is there a possibility of filing a complaint myself? Photos I took show where my vehicle was struck (rear passenger door, just before the tire), and there were no skid marks at all, showing no attempt at braking or avoiding me, and the other party's injury indicates he was partially at fault...

Ohhh, I see. Geez...once you realize there's so much you don't know that you don't know...

Other party spoke about his medical outlook today: 6 weeks in a wrist cast, then weeks GOING TO rehab. ??? No nerve damage, yet having to leave home to do wrist rotation exercises you can do at home? I thought going to rehab was for back/leg/total limb/mobility issues. Hmm...

If we settle out of court, is there a limit to how stupid he can get with "pain and suffering"? I know most people go into litigious situations with the intent of never having to work again.

The other party called and said he might be willing to wrap the entire mess up for 25,000. Then, he starts sounding kinda smarmy "Buuuuut, what about my pain and suffering?" I think he's messing with me now. I politely told him I had to go handle something outside, and I'd call him back when I...

I think that last part is what the lawyer is implying by telling me to reject that offer. So, as I thought I should be pushing for a total resolution of the situation instead of resolving it in stages. Thank you.

I got into an accident over the weekend due to turning outside the turn and because I went around a stalled car at the light and was tboned. Of course, I was cited, both vehicles totaled, other driver broken wrist. I'm self-insured under Florida law, which means I'm immediately liable for...
