You must have a poor attorney. I've been hit twice and always made a lot of profit from the ordeal. You should receive an amount equal to 2-3 times your total medical bills, just for pain and suffering. A new bike of equal value to the trashed bike is a minimum for the bike. Let the insurance company keep the scrap.

I've made even better deals, where I got to keep my bike, fixed it with new wheels, saddle, shifters and bar tape, but still got the price for a new frame and repair parts, plus several thousand additional, just with pictures of my scrapes, bruises and swollen hand.

One of my wrecks that caused little damage to my bike, but lots of medical bills netted me about 6K in profit, but it took a year to get it. The payment was about 10K, but the attorney got a lot, too.
