if the outfitter was negligent, then his damages are lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and any permanent impairment he may suffer from the injuries.  do not settle until you know the extent of the permanent injuries.  if this is a significant amount of money you will likely need a lawyer.  remember the insurance compnay is trying to pay you the least amount possible.
