How to claim for pain and incidentals after a car accident where the other party was at fault.A car ins. co. wants to pay me $1500 for my pain and incidentals after a car accident where I sustained a back and neck injury. The Ins. co. already paid $5500 for medical expenses and has paid $4000 to repair my car. The $1500 only covers loss time and travel to my appointments. Should I be expecting more or settle for the $1500? Attorney answers (3)

The insurer is not acting in your best interest. You should take this matter to a lawyer. You have rights but you have to act to protect those rights. Feel free to contact me if you'd like. I practice in Cook and DuPage.
