I was involved in a car accident and I tore muscle in my back, how much money should they be offering me to settle?

Question Details:

I was in a car accident the other driver ran a stop sign and hit my driver side door and spun me around. I went through 2-3 months of physical therapy and my back is close to normal but it still hurts when I work hard. The exercises that I do make it feel better. They want to settle with me and I want to get it over with. They offered to pay the medical bills $2800 and than give me $2500 for pain and suffering. Should I hire an attorney to get more? What should I do?
