The short answer would be no, unless you are a lawyer yourself.

You may have a settlement approved for a minor without an attorney with the help of an insurance adjuster if you have come to a settlement and wish to have it approved by the court. However, I would never recomend such a move since the adjuster does not have the best interests of the minor in mind.
