Any lawyers or others with experience? My Mom had a bad fall in an icy parking lot at her doctors office last November. She just turned 79 last weekend. The concussion symptoms are lifting now and she's doing pretty well. She hit her head hard, was in the ER for a day, PT, etc. She has excellent insurance and lost no work time being retired.

The buildings insurance company got involved. They should have de iced the parking lot and someone didn't. After much back and forth with them gathering all kinds of medical info they've offered her $3,500. I think that is probably fine with no lawyer involved but she's getting all kinds of other advice.

I don't believe in pursuing settlements or litigation when not justified. Accidents happen. She wasn't out of pocket more than a few hundred $'s. Is this fair or should she hold out for something bigger? What is realistic, saying she'll go away for $5,000? Of course she's asking me for advice and I know little to nothing about this sort of stuff.
