The meeting was between the defense/prosecuting attorneys and the judge to try to avoid a jury trial.
It's my decision if I want to try to negotiate a settlement or go to a jury. I'm still mulling it over before I call my lawyer.
The lesser amount is due to the fact the judge is wary if I can get any money for loss of income. The defense attorney doesn't get the seriousness of my injury, with or without the loss of income. It's all due to the fact I have had serious back surgery, need more and need 2 hip replacements. Nothing is a secret, and they dwelve into everything.
I have an amount in mind, which, after paying the lawyer and my medical bills back, may be suitable. But it's not near what we are trying for.
I've spoken to so many people who've opted for a jury and got nothing due to technicalities or got less than they were offered. I like slot machines, but not gambling with my future. I slept all day, I was so sick yesterday.

:( This is so unfair you have to go through this. Don't have any advice, but will keep sending prayers. Do you have a spiritual advisor you can talk it over with too, before you make a decision?

How sad.... that you're still going through all of this .... :(
I don't have a clue what I would do if I were you. I'm sorry I'm no help Karen.
All I have to offer are {{{hugs}}}
