Hi, I wanted to know if the payout i was receiving was fair compensation for the injuries i received in a car accident i was in last December of '08. I had to go for many therapy sessions and it seems i sustained long term upper back injuries which effect my lower back. I wake up every morning with a stiff back and I feel very uncomfortable sometimes. Now I'm only 18 years old and if these are going to be long term injuries then I'm sure it will effect me in the future. The insurance was offering me close to $6,000.00 for pain and suffering after paying off my medical bills which I don't believe were over $1,000.00. Is this a fair compensation? Or should I try to get more seeing that this injury could lead up to back surgery or other chronic issues? Thank you!
