Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

What can I do? Attorney gave me copy of settlement brochure on January 29,2011. I refused amount because I felt it was too small due to head injury not addressed. Attorney then submitted new request and they offered 6,000.00 more. I agreed to this amount based on the information given to me in the settlement agreement that I had received on January 29. Check was received and cashed and parties paid. Attorney then calls me in an shows me the pay out information which had a 5,000.00 hospital bill added to it. This was not information I had at the time I agreed to the settlement. What can I do?
