No. It does not. I need to know more and so do you probably. Have you finished treating. Are you still in pain. How long has it lasted. Are there any permanent injuries. With 7000 in medicals it sounds like your case is worth a lot more than 1200.00 A large part of what we do as lawyers is evaluate the value of cases and work to ge the full value of your case. There are many factors to consider in determining a value. You should consult an attorney. Most will provide a free consultation on this type of case. I certainly would be willing to five you a free consultation at any time and would be happy to meet with you. I have handled primarily automobile injury cases for the past 15 years and would be happy to discuss this with you. Please call me any time at 504-289-6878. Peirce A. Hammond
