If the terms of the settlement were recited before the judge and a court reporter took it all down, and you said you understood and agreed to the terms, then it's binding. Remember that your attorney should be able to have the medical bills reduced and the attorney might even reduce the legal fees so that you can receive a larger share. Second accidents often are difficult complications, especially if they are close together and the injuries are similar. I hope you have healed from your injuries by now.
