insurance ripped you off if they only gave you $2700 for that much damage.
from experience, i can tell you that it will cost upwards of $6000 to repair that car properly. take your car to a body shop and have them fix it and file a supplement to the insurance company to cover the remainder. $2700 is not even close.

I have now totaled 2 SCs. I know how much work it is to fix them and yours can be fixed for a fair price. Do you have a friend who does body work and paint? The most important part would e getting the frame and inner structures back to OEM positions. After that the rest is cake.

i personally say you sue for whiplash, collect at least 10 stacks in pip benefits, THEN not only repair ur sc, but throw another couple grand into it just to make her feel happy again lol. but on a humble route, whenever something goes wrong with my sc i replace it with something better than before, that way it turns a depressing memory into a good one.

WTF?!?!?! umm PIP insurance is a minimum insurance requirement and it ensures up to 10k in bodily injury. its physically impossible to tell if you DONT have whiplash. you wont loose especially if u act quick but you shouldve called an ambulance regardless of the strength of impact, your health comes before anything.. yes even your car. but as far as the pain, THAT IS WHIPLASH! so congrats.. you have at least 10grand on top of the insurance payout, as long as you have power of attorney (hire any lawyer that doesnt drink on the job and ur home-free lol) now since ur 10 stacks richer u owe me an air freshener lol... seriously i want the little christmas tree freshener shipped to my door once u collect ur 10 stacks.

i highly doubt insurance companies give a total of ten grand to everyone whop complains abotu whiplash,,, aside from that it can take years to go through ther court processes if you dont take their first low ball offer----if they dont want to pay believe me they will find a way not too----my guess is u dont get any extra money -----if you do it wont be anywhere near ten grand

oh and btw its almost guaranteed to work if you immediately go from the scene of the accident to the hospital in an ambulance. dont feel guilty about it cause you DO suffer from whiplash and until u get checked out you still wont know the extent of ur injuries. Believe it or not insurance companies would rather pay/settle for the 10k as opposed to the 50+ you could be suing for. i have seen this ordeal take place 4 times and 4/4 times those "individuals" received AT LEAST a 10k settlement. one of them received a settlement and a years worth of daily massages at a private spa. truth is, a majority of people pay way more to the insurance company in their lifetime than the insurance will ever spend on them. and just to back you up, frame damage proves how hard u were hit.

Just go to the doc and see what he says and then tell the other insurance company. Let them make an offer and see if you like it, don't involve a lawyer yet. Anything the lawyer gets you he will take half so if you like the offer just take it and save the middle man.
