I don't know about you, but I've known people who had only gotten small flesh wounds who ended up with $2,000+.

Her lawyer said he can get at the most, $2k to $3k. Is it just me or does that sound awfully low comparatively to what other people receive in car accident injuries? We're not greedy but it'd be nice to know if this sounds low, or about right from other experiences.
