Based on these facts, the market may very well be responsible for your injuries. It appears, however, that your injuries are limited. If you momentarily choked on the bone but were otherwise fine, then you suffered minimal damages and you might consider taking their offer or requesting $500. If, however, you cracked any teeth, suffered any cuts in your mouth or gums, then the case has higher potential because you have been seriously injured. Did you have to go to the emergency room? Are there any medical bills?
To properly answer this question, an attorney would need to know exactly how severely you were injured.
You should consider retaining an attorney on a contingent fee basis to advise you on this fact specific matter. Good Luck!
