“Hi wanted to get some opinions from you guys who have probably been in a similar situation as mine.

Was involved in a not at fault car accident a few months ago. The person who was at fault plead at fault and my insurance ended up claiming that my vehicle was a total loss and ended up paying vehicle amount owed.

This accident broke my ribs and had tests done that also showed I have damage on neck shoulder and spine. I have not been able to work for months now and have been on disability because of that.

I lawyered up to sue the other driver Insurance and now got an update that my lawyers are trying to settle for 30,000 k and lawyers and doctors taking part of that 30,000 payment for themselves so pretty much leaving me with 5,000 for myself. Which is not enough as I have lost months of work, disability pay is not enough and I have bills, and I don’t have a vehicle. Is there a way I can aim for more? Also have a family and I am main provider.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.”
