Luckily State Farm is reasonable. Of course they have law firms on retainer, b ut when their policy holder is at fault clearly, it is not necessarily in their interest to go to jury trial just on the issue of damages for medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Jurors get bored, disgusted, and disinterested in being forced to listen to that stuff all day long, it feel like lawyers arguing about money.

Which of course, it is. And jurors in that state of mind can do surprising things.

When they as insurers like them, are faced with claimants like you, they won't nickel and dime you over damages to a car, which likely was really totalled based on its market value

Their REAL energy gets spent on analyzing the attached medical case, because that is where the TRUE financial risk to them lies.

How do I know they do that? Long time ago I was one of they

Once you sign off and settle, it is hard to go back for another bite of the apple

I think you did well
