I don't know the whole story, but how much work did you miss, you can get money for that. They should be paying your medical, obviously, and your attorney needs to make some money for his time. How much did they give you for the car? If you are going to have about a grand after all is said and done, it seems like you got paid $1000 to put up with some crap for a while.

My sister had a similar situation, ass-ended by a no-insurance havin white trash beeyatch who could not manage to pay attention to the highway in front of her. She will be fighting over this for a while, she missed a ton of work, messed up her back and payment is nowhere in sight. I myself got ripped off by a former employer who still owes me a sack of cash, which I will never see, because I can't afford to pay an attorney, and they won't take it on a contingency for a piddling $50K kitty. Bottom line is, bad things happen to good people, get on with your life.
