Anyone with accident experience?

Little bit of backstory is in order, I suppose. Back in November(actually, the day before thanksgiving), my little 94 Ranger got a little crunchy in Reno. Lady plowed me on a freeway onramp, me stopped and her at around 40-45ish. Truck was totaled and I smashed through a back window with my head. I'd declined the hospital due to the fact that I was extremely pissed off, pumped with adrenaline, and the first responders said I seemed fine.

Flash forward to the end of December: get a call regarding the truck and the insurance company, State Farm for me and her, came up with 3400 and change for my truck. I took that and ran, cause it's a helluva lot more than I could've sold it for.

So, now that it's been the better part of 4ish months and there's no extreme pain, just some mild discomfort that I don't really forsee going away any time soon, but I need the cash sooner than later. I've had xray's done and did some physical therapy, but nothing helped. Just a mostly permanent, annoying neck pain.

Now, I'm fairly sure they're gonna lowball me right off the bat, but what should the payout generally hit around? Spent around 1000-1500 for the med bills so far.

you should get a lawyer or go to an actual forum populated by lawyers.

this is a truck forum, sure there may be a lawyer here but how would you know.

SERIOUSLY .... go to a forum focused on US LAW.

I'm a big fan of Reddit (largest forum on the internet) so how about:

Just call a lawyer in your town. Don't waste time on the internet, get yourself a lawyer today. They will make sure you get the medical care you need, and they will collect their fees directly from the insurance company. Being that it's months later, if you did not seek medical care within a few days after the accident you may be out of luck, but consult an attorney, as I am most definitely not one.
 
sounds like you got some whiplash, kinda surprised pt didn't help you with that.

if you get a lawyer you can expect 3x your medical bills, but he/she will take a third of that. if you don't get a lawyer go for double your medical bills. if they give you a hard time asking for double, threaten to get a lawyer.
