Legal Question in Insurance Law in Georgia

accepting offer from insurance company from auto accident

I was recently involved in a automobile accident that was not my fault. My automobile was totaled. The other drivers insurance has offered me a offer that is not even close to book value. Should I get at least book value for my car? This offer will put me in debt more than I already was with my car. It just does not seem fair that I have to accept an offer that will not even get me in the same exact car that I had. Do I have a leg to stand on if I go after the driver of the other car for like pain and suffering? Myself and my daughter had minor injuries.

If you were injured you should get a doctor and treat until you are better. It may make all aspects of the case easier to deal with. We would be interested in speaking with you.
