Q: I had a work injury at a factory, and im suing the insurance company , the case is built well and they are ready to pay.
They offered to pay me 1.2 million shekels but my lawyer is taking the case to court and we're going to court after getting a medical opinion.
My question is; can i ask for a very small amount in advance ? Like say , 20,000 shekels?
A: It sounds like you may be outside the U.S. This is something that your attorney could advise best, as it would be governed by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. Your attorney has probably already explored all sources of replacement income while awaiting trial, but there could also be options in terms of lost wages or temporary disability, depending on how workplace injuries are handled. Good luck
