You are a passenger in a car that gets rear ended. You are shaken up, but not injured. The driver goes to the hospital and is indicating that he is looking for a big pay off, since the driver of the car who hit them admitted to not paying attention.
That driver's insurance company contacts you, you tell them that you are not hurt, have not missed any work, yada, yada.
They offer you $1000.00 for your "inconvenience".
Do you take it or hold out for more?

They just want to end it before you notice you can't turn your head in a couple weeks.

Yep, the guy that this happened to is taking the $1000.00.
The driver he was with does not seem happy that he is taking it though. I think he is seeing big money, and Nick wanted nothing to do with a law suit.

Good for him, tell him to stay away from that other greedy self-centered guy, people like that are toxic and that incident is only one example of how ugly that guy can be..

I've been in one of these.
I took the money but now if I bend over too quickly I puke. Been that way since about 2 months after the accident.

Sorry to hear that.
He is getting a packet from the insurance company for the guy he was with in case he does need to go to the doctor at a later date.

What about the damage to the vehicle? $1000 might not cover the cost of repairs.

Ask them to additinally to the sum pay for or otherwise provide a decent medical exam from a third party (a clinic not dependant on the insurance company).
Or some compromise involving a medical, maybe a lower sum etc.
It's happened to me too but I didn't make a decision until the docs said: not likely to have perm damage from the rear-ending. Obv. the cost distribution is a bit different in Sweden.
Edit: reread, if it's already established he's OK, take the money and /shrug

He was a passenger, it was not his car.
From what he said, the van will be totaled. The back end is smashed and the floor is buckled.

Is there a deadling on accepting the $1000?
I'd hold off until then and go to the doctor and get checked first to see if there's anything that might be there, but not felt yet.
I'd at least want to break even with present and future medical bills.

This. Definitely get a medical examination a few weeks after the accident.
