Advices NEEDED
I had a car accident where I was rear ended at a red light. Obviously the other person's fault. No police report were filed because I know the person who hit me. I got a whiplash injury and followed a treatment worth about $4000. The car damages were $1000. The insurance claims that it is only a minor impact so they do not expect to reimburse anything for my medical bills (they already paid for the $1000 of the car damages). Even after the treatment I have permanent damage on my neck (soft tissues).
- Should I hire a lawyer? Will any lawyer refuse to work with me because the impact was to small?
- Will my claims be not valid because I do not have a police report?
- Simple question: how do I file a claim (where is the paperwork?!). What paperwork from each doctor should I send to the insurance?
- Should I have my car insurance helping me with the medical bills claim?
- The doctors are already asking me to pay the bills (beside the copayment). Do I have the right to refuse until the car insurance reimburse me?
Thank you.

Most states allow you to file a complaint at the small claims court to sue for up to $5,000 dollars.

Always file a police report after an accident. You definitely should have filed a police report even if you knew the person. If you already accepted a settlement offer from the insurance company you are screwed. However, personal injury lawyers offer free consultations so it doesn't hurt to talk to one and get their advice.
If you need to find a lawyer, find one in this attorney directory.

Have to agree with the others above. Consulting a lawyer for a second opinion is definitely your smartest move.
