I met with the insurance agent today

The agent for the guy who rear-ended me. He came by this evening to fill out the paperwork for my claim. Another of their agents has already processed the claim for the damage to my Escape, got the appt set up to get it fixed and get a loaner. This guy today was about my injuries. I gave him copies of my Dr letter for missed time from work and a copy of my paystub so he could verify this info. Also the info for the Chiropractor who is treating me, he will get with them to take care of that bill. He told me they offer compensation for pain and suffering. His offer was for $700.00 plus pay for my sick leave I had to use. I felt this was a decent offer considering I was not seriously injured, so I accepted it. This will help pay for my trip to the Assembly. Any opionions on the amount? I really didn't expect anything.

I have worked in insursance for a while now and I think that was good fi they were willing to pay for your sick leave.

Depending on your injuries if you fill justified then I say it was a good move

Yea, I felt comfortable with that. I am not out for suing someone just because you can and I think too many people just sue insurance companies because all they can see is $$$$$$$$$$$.

If that fairly pays you for your loss and injury, then you did well.
