i had an s420 that was totalled by a rear end hit. It had a recent engine change, which I figured i would have to eat. I documented it and shockingly the other party's insurance paid significantly more than I expected, probably to keep me happy.

Injuries from this sort of thing aren't immediately apparent. I'd give it some time. Steer clear of any atty that wants to direct her medical care, common in 'high litigation" areas and shady af. The "doctors' involved are just billing machines to drive up the value of the case. But by all means any injury, including temporary soreness and bruising, is compensible.
