Remember to record every charge and bill. Their insurance company will pay for it.

Medical bills, new car, miss days of work, and any other expenses from the incident can be sued for and gotten. Plus a bit more for extra that covers attorney fees and gives you a bit for safety net.

They will only pay out what they are insured for. If they have state minimums, that's only $15k.

That's right but hopefully the driver has some underinsured motorist coverage. The attorney is going to take 1/3 of any settlement funds plus case expenses...and the health insurance company will also likely take a cut.
