Post: 17 Year Old Hit By Car

Posted by Devid569 on 6/27/08

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state
of: Cali.
My son was skateboarding home one night and was on the
correct side of the road when a truck came across the
oncoming lane and hit him. He had a sprained ankle and was
unable to walk for a week or so. At first she was refusing
to respond to her insurance company and when I finally
said I was going to get an attorney they were able to get
ahold of her and she admitted she was at fault. Well I am
not a sue happy person and I want my son to also know that
it not right to take advantage of people. I do not know
what the appropriate amount to accept as a settlement is.
His emergency bills came to about $3,000. His property
damage was $125. Can someone help me out with this?
