Settlement Question

New York

I was hurt around a year ago had surgery late last year. I had shoulder reconstructive surgery. I’m in my late 20s. I had a court hearing for reduced earnings because my doctor was at 100% and their doctor was at 25% but with the same restrictions, and shockingly enough, they came with an offer. It was obviously low so my Lawyer negotiated with them but it was a little bit lower than when I was expecting, but my lawyer says it’s a good amount for what it is. He said they will not offer any higher. Unless we are willing to take it to court. Do you think I would be able to get them to go a little higher and push my luck? I’ll be able to retain my position at my old job and have open medical as well. He says I don’t have to accept but it can be lower next time.
