Hit and Run

I was involved in a hit and run. I was the other drivers fault. The owner of the vehicle lend the vehicle to relative or friend. I went to the a few days later becasue I was not hurting at the time of the accident. Now I have some occasional pain in my right knee. At first, I was told by the other parties insurance company that nothing could be done to recover my losses. A month ago they called to say, we offer you your medical expense and $150.00. Last week I was called and told $500.00 would be all I would receive take it or leave it. I was very confused and hurt by the agent's treatment. I need to recover medical expense, car rental different, deductible, pain and suffering, puntitive damage for inconvience and time away from my job. The accident happen 7/6/02, I went to the doctor 7/11/02, starting have keen pain September/October/02. What must I do to recover and feel satisfied. I understand hit and run is a serious offense subject to penalty. Please give me an answer. Confused and in need of law help for dummies.

I feel I am being bullied by Allstate insurance company.

Thank You
