Of course you get an attorney. Your neck could hurt the rest of your life, and it could alter your life.

The insurer of the at-fault driver should pay you for all your medical expenses (not just your out of pocket).
This is called the collateral source rule. The fact that you were smart enough to have health insurance is not to their benefit.
Of course, you are also entitled to additional compensation for your pain, suffering and inconvenience, plus lost wages (if any) and the like.

Attorneys dont make boo boos get better dumbass.
If the OP is injured he should go to the doctor and continue to treat.

See what the opening offer is. Call a lawyer for a free consult and see what they think they can get.

She has tried calling me three times so far and each time was HOURS outside of the window I told her I'd be available. I understand I can't realistically expect her schedule to mesh with mine but dammit I can't be expected to step out of the office to take her call at odd hours of the day. Especially when my employer doesn't allow personal phone calls except in the rare instance it's a real emergency.
Have you tried calling her back? Or emailing her?
First off, it's obvious the truck is liable. So liability is not in question. Second, You've stated that you accrued $200 of medical bills. You do not need an attorney for that, that is for small claims court. No attorney will take your case, and if they did it won't be in one quick phone call and you would need to pay them yourself.
Call back the insurance rep. Since liability is not in question, they should have no problems paying you your claim. They want this over with more than you do.

If and only if you are positive you have no permanent injury. Call adjuster, tell not ask, you want diminished value for your vehicle and 2k for medical expenses, if they will agree you will sign all releases in 24 hours it is non negotiable.
