So my x-gf was in a car accident a couple months ago that was not her fault and suffered from a very very bad sprained ankle. The ligaments in her ankle were sprained very badly. At the time she was working a job and had to take a medical leave of absense, which eventually led to her getting fired. Since then her ankle hasn't been right and still hurts her and there is most likely going to be long term, or even permanant, damage.

She talked to the lawyer today and he gave her this $$ settlement:

536.30 - For her hospital bills
742.00 - To pay off her doctor for putting on/removing casts and ankle braces
560.00 - As compensation for missed work pay
5000.00 - For "everything else". This includes inconvenience, pain, suffering, possible long term damage and all that stuff.

Total - $6838.30

Now my question to you guys is, do you think that's fair? In all honesty I think the insurance guy is just trying to rip her off because she's young and prolly dosn't know any better. He said to her "that she shouldn't talk to her friends, family, or a lawyer about this situation because they don't know what she went though, and that the negotiations should be between him and her". To me that sounds like he knows that he could get fucked for a lot more money if a lawyer was brought into this. Of course she told him no on that offer, because she needed to talk to her parents and such. Do you guys think she deserves more than this? If so, how much?

If anyone can point me in the direction of some good information online I would greatly appreciate it.
