so after having received $3300 in damages to my 300D and not totaling it, they have called me and said that they want to settle the physical and lost work part of the claim. I missed 3 days of work and the medical bills were about $400. I went to the emergency room for a checkup after the accident, and have not had to pay the bills, they went directly to statefarm, but i bet they will still send those to me. anyway, i was not hurt seriously, i had a sore neck and did not enjoy the weekend after the accident, but was not hurt.

I am an Oil Field engineer for Schlumberger and i missed 3 days of bonus for a gas well i was not able to attend. i missed $1500 worth of bonus that Statefarm is reimbursing me for. This was on top of my salary, so i did not miss anything there.

so we are looking at $1,900 for the medical part and their offer was $2,800 to end the claim today. that means i get $900 for pain and suffering.

What i want to know is if that is enough or to be laughed at. I was thinking at least $2k for pain and suffering, as i was miserable for a good 4-5 days (not to mention not being able to work on my car!!!)

what do you all think, should i call them back and say it is not enough? what do i say to get them to raise it?
