Hello There!
The insurance company sent me a settlement offer, but it feels way too low compared to my medical bills and car repair costs. I’m not sure if this is normal or if they’re trying to underpay me.Has anyone dealt with a low settlement offer before? What are my options if I think the amount isn’t fair?

Hi, I’m Zephyr. I was involved in an accident and may have been partially at fault, so I’m trying to understand my options. I’ve heard that in some cases you can still receive compensation even if you share some responsibility.
Has anyone dealt with this before? How does partial fault affect compensation, and what should someone do next in this situation?
