Your attorney needs to MAN UP!!!! If he cannot get a better
settlement than that...get a new attorney fast!!!!! You
should be getting triple that offer...and medical care for
the rest of your life.

Don't settle for that crap...tell your attorney to get in
there and fight, or you will lok for an attorney with guts.
