You may be able to recover more, if you are able to show you incurred further damages. Usually, you have one year from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit if the insurance company is not willing to settle at an amount you can agree with. However, if you accepted the insurance company's offer of $5000, there is nothing else you can do. Especially if you signed the agreement.
If you would like to discuss your case in more detail, I would be happy to offer a free consultation.
