Last July, I had an accident on the freeway. Freeway traffic stopped, as did I, and I was struck by the driver behind me hard enough to stamp a toyota logo into my bumper, and push me a carlength into the next car in front.. I went to the hospital for back pain, and neck pain, followed by a doctor visit a month later. I have not been able to get back to a doctor since, due to my work schedule, and a job change.
Now, the insurance company of the rear driver wants to settle. They claim they are offering me the $1600 to cover lost work wage, hospital bills and copays, and like only 300 or 400 of it covers pain and suffering.
I personally dont think this is enough. I still have back pain to this day, lingering though it may be. Also, I had the car for only like a month before this happened, and am nowhere near paying it off. They didn't total it, and sent it to a AAA repair facility. I'm sure that if I traded it in, I'd be screwed on the trade-in or even sale of the car...
