Car accident (bodily injury)

In April 2015 I was involved in a car accident. I was crossing the intersection when I was struck by a vehicle that failed to yield. My SUV was a total loss and unfortunately I severed a right ankle fracture. I was in the hospital for about eight hours then released in a splint unable to walk.... A couple of days pass but knowing I had to call the insurance. I called the other drivers insurance to file a claim but it was the worst process ever. I thought I was able to handle the insurance claim I my own but I was wrong. My first offer for my bodily injury claim was 1,500 which I couldnt believe how they got that number knowing my ankle was broken. So I denied their offer. A week passed then they offered 2,000.I was still in disbelieve. They told me that they weren't going anymore than 2,000. I shouldn't have but I just hung up the phone. I was like how is that even possible. I called a couple of relatives to see if they knew of someone, I was referred to the law offices of Gabriel Pimental. I spoke to him myself so to me it made me feel more comforting knowing it's his law office. I told him about what had happened when I called the insurance myself and he told me not to worry about nothing, he said just focus on getting better. Mr. Pimental was caring, professional, and prompt. I really thought it would've talen a couple a weeks or month to hear back from him but within a week he called and told me the great news how he got me the maximum policy limit of the other drivers insurance $15,000. Plus the property damage to my vehicle. I got the property damage check withing two weeks. I got my bodily Injury check after I was done treating but it was well worth it. Mr. Pimental is an awesome attorney. Thank you for all your hard work.
