Yes
But, would it do any good? Remember that once you hire an attorney you are incurring his fees too, which is 33% of the claim.
JUPYRCHEPA, 15k settlement on 5k medical bill doesn't sound too bad as an offer. Can you share with us the break-up of the claim amount?
Thanks,
Rupert

I don't know about that Rupert...depends...facial scars typcially 'bring' more, and it all depends, on sex/age, where the scar is how visible is plastic surgery an option etc...Add your comment
