A: An Oklahoma (or Texas?) attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. No one here could pass judgment on your son's case or his attorney. An attorney would need to see the file. You posted under Oklahoma, because that's where you may be located. But you mention a Texas attorney. It isn't clear if that's because that's where venue was determined to be, or that you went with a Texas attorney you already knew. A starting point might be to have a discussion about where the case is going, what was done on the case, if there are liens, the statute of limitations, etc. and to outline what your options are. It sounds like you may have reached an impasse with the carrier, and without contemplating placing the matter in suit, that $4,900 figure might not change - but again, an attorney would need to see the file to give you meaningful input. I hope your son has a healthy recovery. Good luck
