Jen,
In Indiana, with some limited exceptions, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. It sounds to me like you may have something more serious going on than just a soft tissue injury. I would not be comfortable settling your case until you have been to a doctor and confirmed that the tingling and loss of arm strength is not something more serious, like a herniated cervical disk. You only get one chance to settle your personal injury claim. For example, if you were to accept the insurance company's current offer, and six months from now an MRI reveals that you need surgery, you can not go back to the insurance company and say you want more money to cover the cost of that surgery. If you have questions about your claim, or would like to speak to an experienced personal injury attorney, please do not hesitate to contact me. Consultations are free.
Best,
Chip
