I received a $600,000 settlement offer from a personal injury case. My lawyer takes 33%, he says the medical bills related to my surgery in 2024 are around $270,000

They told me the medical bills are so high because interest has accrued since 2024

I’m trying to verify whether this $270,000 amount is legitimate before I agree to the settlement.

What exactly should I ask my lawyer or the medical provider for to verify this?

Is there anything else I should request?

Also, is it normal for a medical bill from 2024 to grow this substantially because of interest, or should I be concerned that I’m being given an inflated number?

I’m in New York, if that matters.
