A:
I am not sure what your question is.
The adjustment of your property loss is separate from a claim for personal injury.
Any medical bills should be submitted to your first party benefits coverage, if you have that, under your automobile insurance. If you have no first party benefits, then submit to your health insurance.
You need to consult a lawyer to discuss a suit for your personal injuries.
A:
As to your injuries don't accept the property damage if it says "settlement of all claims." As to your injuries, what you can get is 1)value of your injuries as shown by the medical records 2) lost wages 3)medical expenses not covered by insurance.
You want to get photos of your car.
as to value, get a copy of the "valuation sheet." Feel free to call--I'll walk you through it.
