I was recently injured in a store when an object fell from an upper shelf and hit me on the head. I had a cut on my forehead and a bruise that lasted several days. I notified the store management at the time of the accident. I also sought medical treatment on that same day. I have now been contacted by a claims adjuster to "settle my case." I've been offered $250. How do I know whether or not this is an appropriate amount?

It may be wise to have your specific factual situation analyzed by an attorney in your jurisdiction. And you should have this done IMMEDIATELY so that you don't lose important rights.
