What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NEVADA My husband was injured in a low impact rear-end accident over a year ago and injured his back. His back has never recovered.. The insurance company will only pay the small claim limit of 5k (the medical bills are just above 5k). They will not acknowledge any compensation for pain n sufferring. I cant get any attorney to accept the lawsuit because their payoff would be too low to bother with it. Im considering handling the matter in small claims. Is it legally acceptable for me (wife) to file my own lawsuit to recover the medical expenses and my husband to file his own small claims action to recover his pain and sufferring? We are only asking the insurance company for 8,000 and they will not negotiate. We really need help here. Our medical bills are now in arrears and my husband really wants to settle so that he can begin repairing our credit but he also does not want to think that he has been exploited. Please help.
