I was in a bicycle accident in June '08 as a result of a contractor not posting signs of their hoses obstructing a public access trail. (it was a blind access to the the point of the accident and had no time to see the hose). As a result I fractured my writing arm. 8 weeks recovery during the summer months and much inconvenience. The insurance company for the contractor has reimbursed me for my out of pocket medical expenses.
What would be a reasonable amount to accept for my pain and suffering? The amount they offered seemed rather insulting to me considering I couldn't drive my manuel transmission car, husband had to take time off work to drive me to appointments etc.
