The thing is - I wouldn't have gone to lawyer if they would have just offered to make me whole.

This. SBTX got rear-ended and then both cars got hit five minutes later. Should be clear cut fault. Including ours three insurance companies involved, none are cooperating, and over a month later repairs on the vehicle haven't even started. If our insurance would have stepped up and made us whole we probably would have ignored the back pain she is in, but because they didn't we had more time to figure out how badly she was injured and ultimately lawyered up.

Two months ago I don't think I would have ever thought we would lawyer up for a car accident. Reality is the lawyers and the insurance companies are both part of the problem. One necessitates the other.
