-StressedOut-
Junior Member
I am in Colorado.
The beginning of August I was rear-ended in my minivan by a very nice man who just wasn't watching where he was going for a second while looking back at his children. His insurance company did cover my van which was wrote off ($3,300+), my medical bills ($348) and a 10 day rental vehicle. They are now offering me $500, up from $300 that they were offering a couple of weeks ago. $500 is better then nothing, but I had a very soar neck for a week, and was very stressed out. Is $500 a fair amount? I am not looking for a big extravogant amount, I can not imagine asking for anything like $5000 or anything. But would $1500 be too much to ask for? I can't find any guidelines on basing the amount you ask for.
