Since the settlement offer from the at-fault party's insurance carrier is inadequate, your recourse is to reject the settlement offer and file a lawsuit for negligence against the at-fault party.
Your lawsuit for negligence against the at-fault party must be filed prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or you will lose your rights forever in the matter.
