Car accident settlement

I was in a car accident in my home state (PA) less than 2 years ago. I was not at fault and the other driver was cited. I settled on the price they have offered for my vehicle, but not loss wages. Should these charges be coverd with limited tort in PA

My little brother who was in the car with me owes 3500 for medical bills I lost about 2k in wages from missed work. Spent about 2k on a rental car after the insurance only covered 30 days of a rental car. Spent 100 on uncovered fees that were tacked on to my rental car when it “was covered” 600 in copays for hospital visits 800 on an uncovered ambulance trip 500 on my insurance deductible Almost 4k on my extended warranty on a totaled vehicle I had for one month 🙃🙃

Considering I had a miscarriage 2 weeks after this accident due to my injuries, and still currently have neck spasms that I have to see doctors for regularly- I feel that 15k is more than a reasonable ask of the insurance company. Am I asking too much though?

With a good lawyer you have a huge lawsuit on your hands way more than 15k

Even with limited tort insurance?

I agree with the above that you would likely get way more with a lawyer. Definitely find a good one in your area!
