• Thanks for the reply.
  Lost wages of $1800 were covered by workmans comp.
  Pain treated with morphine meds lasted 6 weeks.
  Unable to resume regular work duties (service manager/field service engineer)for 8 weeks. Recommended recovery time 12 weeks.
  The sternum injury could cause future problems to the aorta. My doctor indicated there is no problem evident now and related future problems cannot be preddicted.
  When replacing my car I was very converned to get all the safety features (cost 8,000 more than the wrecked car). I'm uncomfortable to say the least, on wet or icy congested roads. I don't know if this is what would be considered phycological damage.
  Im not looking for the lottery, rather what is fair. I just don't want to be taken advantage of.
  Attorneys I have called don't want to discuss it until I fire my current Lawyer.
  Any further comments? Thanks!

• First, an accident is NOT the lottery.
  Second, you have the right to change lawyers at any time for any reason or none at all. The new lawyer will pay the old when the judgement or settlement is collected.
  Third, there is no mention loss of income, possible permanent residual damages, scars, psychological damages, etc. and as you did not mention them I have no idea if the out of pockets are high or low, of if the offer is reasonable or not, (and what is reasonable varies by state and county) or if the insurance company thinks you are not the kind of person juries like, or thinks your lawyer is a rookie or out of his field, or what.
  Go to a new lawyer and get a second opinion. But expecting $35k net because you want that much is not realsitic as a way to proceed. It may be way too much, or not enough.
