the light was still green as i approached the intersetion i warned her with a horn that i was continuing through the intersection. but she disregarded my warning and turned it was too late
i slammed my brakes but it was too late
my lawyer demanded money, the adjuster denied all liability, even though their client is at fault

Re:do i go further
I would definately pursue this case further. Even though your injuries are "soft tissue", in most cases these types of injuries take longer to heal than if you had broken your leg. You will most likely suffer from pain for some time which may cause you to lose time from work and your quality of life. Just because the insurance company won't pay, which is what they are supposed to do, doesn't mean that you aren't entitled to reimbursement. If you would like to speak with me regarding your options please give me a call at 888-563-8529. The call and consultation are free so you really have nothing to lose by getting a second opinion.
I look forward to speaking with you.

Re: My lawyer demanded, insurance
Only you can decide if it is worth it, I dont know how bad the injury was or how long it took to recover. Yes, you would still have to pay the doctor. Small claims court is an excellent option for smaller cases but keep in mind the limit there is $5,000
