Check to make sure that you signed a property damage only release rather than a general release that could include the bodily injury claim too.

   Answered July 19, 2012 15:43. You would make a claim to the drivers insurance company for your injuries - and if you cannot agree to an appropriate settlement you would file suit, against the driver. If the vehicle is deemed a total loss you would ordinarily receive an offer from the insurance carrier based on the value of the vehicle at the time of the accident. A settlement of the property damage claim would not settle your injury claim. You may want to consult with a personal injury attorney.

   Answered July 20, 2012 10:55. You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights. You may also find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on Avvo.com dealing with many of the issues you are now facing.,
