well there you go, all the more financial justification to be driving around in a Carrera GT!

Trek, sorry to say, but although you suffered $17.5k in property damage, you'd need to have lawyered up from early on, along with a doctor that works in conjunction with him to 'max' out your 'medical injuries', which in your case comes to about $50k. If your injuries were serious, this would have been documented early on, real or not, to justify a high medical bill. For example, if a victim of an accident does not seek medical attention until a month after the accident, when the he realizes the payout sucks, it raises a red flag with the insurance co. It is typical for ambulance chasing doctors to overbill the medical expecting to receive only a percentage of the claim, so you're no exception. In a way both ends need to be 'crooked' to meet a check and balance. Yourself against an insurance co, expect to get shafted. Go see a lawyer and see what you can salvage out of all this.
