$80,000 would be too low IF liability is clearly against the defendant(s). Often, slip and fall cases aren't all too clear on the issue of liability, and so this issue must be factored in to the valuation on settlement. Because if the matter went to trial, and you lost the case (because the jury found the defendants weren't liable) then $80,000 would seem like a great settlement. However, if you could "look into a crystal ball" and know the jury would find the defendants liable (i.e. at fault) then (in my opinion) $80,000 would be too little. So, since I don't know how good (or not) the liability is against the defendant(s), I really can't say for sure. Please call if you would like to discuss this directly.

You probably ought to retain other counsel, especially if by "nothing" you mean no communication with you. However, if you are still treating for your injuries, it may be too soon to present a demand to the insurance company.

Well, I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help. Yes it was an understandable mistake on your part, but it seems to me that the mistake was on your part. Your daughter seems to have some issues if she took it upon herself to hack your phone and use the information to obtain a TRO, and I'd guess that her law guardian is the one calling the shots. Since the "T" in "TRO" stands for "Temporary", it may fall by the wayside, certainly there can be modifications. Your lawyer will have some in-depth work to fight this.
