Invariably when we pick a jury, there will some reference to the lady who won "millions" of dollars from McDonalds when she spilled coffee in her lap. The reporting of this incident was perhaps the most skewed reporting I have ever seen and was part of a political agenda for tort reform. Please take a minute and look at this video:
The real story about the lady with the coffer burn.

Handling Auto Accidents & Insurance Companies
If you have had the unfortunate experience of being in an automobile accident, you have likely also suffered the uncomfortable and painstaking task of dealing with an insurance company. And depending on the at-fault party's insurance policy limits, you may find yourself dealing with more than one insurance company. Often times, your own insurance policy provides coverage for Uninsured Motorists (UM) and Underinsured Motorists (UIM). This means that if you suffer property damages, medical expenses, and personal injuries beyond the at-fault party's policy limits, your own insurance company is responsibly for paying the excess.
However, it is important that you know that your own insurance company becomes an adverse party in that instant. Though they have a duty to evaluate and adjust your claim fairly, they do not have to pay what they disagree is owed. Unfortunately, disagreements seem to be the norm rather than the exception. Therefore, you may be forced to hire an attorney to initiate litigation to recover for your damages and injuries. Disagreements on property damage and personal injuries must be resolved by a jury and an experienced litigation team is vital to maximizing a jury award.
