Answer

Hello Greg,

You can keep trying. Chances are the adjuster is checking with her managers on what to do. Most people sign and do not read, so you are way ahead of the game. Good for you.

They cannot force your to settle for both. The truck damages are separate and apart from the injury damages. You can settle the one without the other and they are not supposed to leverage against you by settling the one without the other.

If this situation has gone for more than a week and/or the accident happened more than 30 days ago, you can contact the office of the insurance commissioner of your state. Here is link to all 50 states (please see table at bottom of the page).http://www.auto-insurance-claim-advice.com/car-insurance-agent.html

If it has not been more than 30 days, keep calling the adjuster, their supervisor, and their supervisor. They will get to you about this settlement.

Good Luck
