soft tissue injury

I was t-boned (100% other driver's fault) 2 years ago. $3900 in damage to car his insurance paid. Have been treated for soft tissue injury to my neck/shoulder. Had MRI, xrays and no cervical damage. Have had 2 rounds of PT & therapeutic massage. Keep getting a knot in shoulder/neck area that has to be massaged out - usually 2 trips to PT. This will be chronic for rest of life - myofascial pain syndrome. I have paid $1000 for copays and deductible. Is $3000 a fair settlement offer?

Is your health carrier going to see recovery for what they spent on your medical expenses? Does your state allow you to double dip (have your medical bills paid by your health carrier and still allow you to collect again)? How much was your medical treatment? How much more treatment are you going to need (will $3000 even address your future medical bills?)?

There is simply no way to know what the limited info you can provide here. But off hand, I'd say you are not factoring in a lot of things.

Are you working or unable to work due to the injury? Your question is ambiguous/incomplete.
