lateral release

[habegerc]

I fell at a local grocrey store because of a broken cooler and I did alot of damage to my left knee. On 7-25-00 I had to have surgury and have a lateral release done. The doctor siad it was worse then he thought and that down the road I will need to have it done again. The insurance company has been great they have paid all of the bills and covered my loss wages. But now they want to settle with me so I do not take them to court. where do I start what is a good settlement??? Please help!!!!

See an experienced injury attorney. First, slip and fall cases are often very difficult and are very fact specific , so the value of these cases often depends on how strong liability is and to what degree comparative negligence can be a problem. Also, there are simply no formulas for damages and they can depend on many variables; in essence, the law is to compensate the victim for his/her individual loss; that is why two people can have the same injury , the same meds and they be worth different amounts. Please consult with an experienced attorney.
Good luck!
