You shouldn't be negotiating an injury settlement while you are still treating. The value of your case is multi-faceted and includes how long you are under treatment, whether you miss time from work, how the accident happened, the nature of your medical treatment, the size of your medical bills and whether or not you make a complete recovery. I would also want to know that caused the double sliding door at Wal Mart to hit you. If an automatic door, did it fail? Have you had the door inspeceted by an engineer to determine the cause of failure? Remember that more likely than not, Wal Mart has video surveillance of how the accident occured. Were there witnesses to the accident? Under Wisconsin law, an injury lawsuit must be brought within 3 years from the date of your accident. Failure to file a lawsuit within three years from the date of the accident would forever bar your claim.
On your last issue, when you do settle, any subrogated health insurance carriers, whether public or private, need to be reimbursed for payment of your medical bills.
