While shopping in a department store, I tripped on a piece of metal sticking up out of the floor used to corral shopping carts. I fell on my knees, fracturing one of them. Went to the emergency room and was eventually put into a full leg cast. It was a clean break with no complications. I was on crutches for 2 months. I did suffer a lot of pain while in the cast because I needed to work everyday. It was not unbearable, but very uncomfortable.
I am a hair dresser and was off work for about 2 weeks. I did not lose any clients, but did lose some income. The store has been very helpful and has paid all but a few of my doctors bills. I have been released from my doctor and the store wants to settle with me. They have offered me $13,000. This will be their final payment for everything, including the remaining medical bills.....which total about $500. Is this a fair settlement??? Should I contact a PI attorney???
Thanks for your assistance.
