Im trying to find out how much I can get for pain and suffering for the car accident I was involved in.

I was hit in a car accident. The person that hit me insurance company excepted liability for the whole thing. They put me in rental and said they would pay for the damages to my vehicle, I took my car to get it checked out by my mechanic and he said its about 7000worth of damages but the insurance company said its about 3000. my car is only worth 3800. But when I went to the doctor they said I have whip lash, and the bones in my neck needs to be adjusted I now have to go to the doctor 3x a wk. I suffer really bad migraines and cant work like I used to.

You need to put the entire case -- property damage and your personal inury -- in the hands of a good lawyer.  One place to find qualified attorneys is our website, http://attorneypages.com

Pain and suffering can be hard to estimate, sometimes, and the "value" of a particular injury can differ not only between states, but often from one county to another.  One of the factors that goes into this is the amount of permanent injury you have, which often means that the injury itself isn't fully known right away, until it's known how much your treatment helps, or doesn't.  Having bad migraines for six months and then only occasional migraines is not the same as having those bad migraines for the rest of your life, and that (as one example) would make a difference in what your case is worth.
