I'm so glad you get a decent settlement. My mom slipped and fell in WM. there was something like flour on the floor and she fell. the shopping cart over turned on her and not only did the fall mess up her back and knee but it took out a big part of the skin around her knee. She's hired several different lawyers from very prestigous law offices and the guess they all sold out to WM except the last one. He didn't ask her about what she expected to get..nothing. he just settled for $20,000. He would take his part, give the one that comes in and tries to settle.can't think of his title right now...his part..medicare their part and mom was left with just over $5,000. Her back surgery alone without any complications was suppose to be $60,000. She hasn't had the surgery. She can't afford it. Medicare won't pay for it since she was injured at WM. WM won't pay either. needless to say she refused the money. She said if that's all there was to her pain and suffering WM needed it worse than she did...and she's still suffering both with her back, backbone and knee.
