I was in a car accident in October. A lady was arguing with her son and rear ended me at 40 mph. I sustained neck, back, and shoulder injuries. I still have pain in my shoulder that the dr. feels will most likely never be corrected. The insurance co I am dealing with says I deserve no compensation for pain and suffering and their offer is not even enough to cover what it cost me in medical bills, time off work, and dropping class at school. I have never been in an accident before and I don’t know how this works. Do you know what an appropriate settlement would be or how to figure out how much it should be? PLEASE HELP.
If you are a lawyer or have been in an accident and can help through personal experience that would be great.

My wife was on maternity leave last year when he got hit in the rear end (she was driving her mothers car). Since that time, she saw a chiropractor for about 3 months and is now fine. My 3 week old son saw the doctor and was fine. My five year old was fine but does panic everytime he sees an auto accident. The total medical bills are $1,500 and the adjuster is offering $2,200. Is this fair? I understand that it was not a major auto accident, but she did have to get help taking care of our son while she was recovering on maturnity leave. We asked for $3000 which we felt was fair and reasonable but he did not flitch and told her to give him a call to discuss this? What’s fair? Should I tell him I’m thinking about getting an attorney?
Were not seeking a windfall, we just want a fair amount? Any help would be appreciated.

We were in a car accident. It wasn’t our fault. The other parties car insurance offered a settlement less than what we paid for our car. Is this negotionalbe? Or do we have to take their word for it?

About 1 month ago I was in an Auto accident where another driver rear ended me and knocked me into the driver ahead of me. I started seeing my chiropractor immediately and have been seeing him 3 times weekly since. I am starting to feel better and know that the insurance adjuster will be calling soon to settle the claim. My question is what would be fair compensation. I sustained soft tissue injury-a Severe strain to my back and neck. My vehicle has all ready been repaired.
