What is the average payout for a rear-end collision?
I just got into a rear-end collision where the other driver carried the state minimum insurance. It didn’t cover my medical bills. So after my insurance company tried to recoup the bill, they couldn’t. They suggested I sue. So what’s the payout for a rear-end collision?
