It is true that a judge must approve a minors settlement. However, you shouldn't settle without talking to a lawyer first. I'd be glad to talk to you about this.

You should speak with a lawyer on this case.
Our firm handles this type of case.
Call me on my cell phone 214-356-3615 so that we can speak. The consultation is alwas free and we only charge on a contingency.
We can agree to base our contingency where we dont get paid unless you recover more than you have already been offered.
Good Luck!

I am sorry to hear about this incident with your child
A court must approve any settlement for a person under the age of 18.
DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT A LAWYER
You should not give a statement, give access to your child's medical information or sign any insurance company forms without speaking to a lawyer.
The insurance company is not your friend and is not concerned with your child's injuries and pain.
Their goal is to make $ by paying as little as possible on the claim. They will frustrate by you by delaying payment, giving you a low offer, or denying claim hoping you will get mad and go away.
I should know because I worked as a lawyer for malpractice insurance companies for 10 years.
I would be more than happy to talk with you about the accident. I can be reached at (214) 800-3454 and my office is in Dallas.
