What to do if I was rear-ended by another driver whose insurance company has admitted fault?
They wanted to total my van or let me keep van and give me a salvage title. They would however give me a check for the estimated repair cost. I also experienced some back pain, neck pain, arm and leg pain as well as headaches since the accident.Went to a chiropractor and he advised me to start treatment I refused at the time because it was soon after the accident and I did not know if the driver had insurance. I have now started treatment and the chiropractor said it could take as many as 18-30 treatments. Although the insurance company said they will take care of the bill how do I know for sure. Can I ask the insurance company to pay the estimated bill.

I am assuming the chiropractor is treating you on a lien basis. You need to finish the treatment so you know how much the total lien is for. Then you and your chiropractor will submit the medical files and bills to the insurance company for payment. If they said they will pay, they will pay, although they may quibble with the chiropractor over the amount. If this can not be resolved, you can always the sue the at-fault driver for your personal injuries.
