Personal injury settlements are based on what your damages are. Damages consist of medical bills, medication, lost wages, pain and suffering. I can't tell from your question, but I am assuming you sought no medical treatment and recovered in a day. As such, your damages are very low, even though you were sick for a day. I think the fact that the insurance company is willing to make you any type of settlement offer is good for you and I wouldn't expect to be able to negotiate much more than what you have been offered.
