QUESTION
How could I get more than their offer for my personal injury?
Asked on May 07th, 2015 on Personal Injury - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I went the salon that I always go to. There was a new gal. I get waxing done regularly. She burned my eyelids so bad that there were blisters, bruising, and cuts. The company that owns the salon, a state wide chain and has only offered me $500.00. This is not fair. How am I going to get what I deserve?

First things first: consult an experienced personal injury lawyer, who can over the details of what happened, and often can discover damages that are not apparent to a lay person. I speculate that he or she will find legal grounds for a larger settlement. Some of them could be: medical bills, lost earnings, need to hire help to do normal chores, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, and several more. Good Luck.

Sue in Small Claims Court where you can collect up to $10,000 which seems easily sufficient.

They may be offering you only $500 because you do not have an attorney and do not appear to be a threat to the company. If you consulted with an attorney, the attorney would present a threat to the company (the attorney could file suit if necessary), and could possibly force them to offer more money.

Either you already asked this question, or by an amazing coincidence somebody else did (except I think she was only offered $250) You need a lawyer, corporations or insurance companies will not take you seriously without one, as you have now discovered.
