Insurance company is required to pay for actual damages. This means putting you back to where you were before the accident, not hitting the lottery to get something for nothing. There is no pain and suffering amounts.

No. Pain and suffering of yourself is not a liability, as this only covers damages to property that may be caused (e.g. to replace the tree you hit) or if someone else sues you for what happened. You would need a personal cover or health insurance.

Can you collect pain suffering if rear ended but both have the same insurance carrier?
You can collect pain and suffering compensation regardless of which insurance carriers are involved, or if no insurance company is involved. The insurance carrier treats each policy individually and won't punish you because you carry the same policy as the other party involved. However, being awarded pain and suffering is much more difficult than many people realize. This is, by far, one of the most frequented areas of the law for people "trying to make a buck" and the courts are aware of this. You'd have to show sustained and verifiable evidence that you suffered trauma in excess of what normally be expected by an average rear-end accident. Also, to collect award, the pain and suffering must be a permanent physical or psychological impairment....

If you are injured in an auto accident will you have to sue to recover pain and suffering damages?
State laws on the recovery of damages for pain and suffering vary greatly. In lieu of a lawsuit, I recommend mediation (I happen to be a certified mediator--doesn't work with insurance companies) or arbitration (which can be binding or non-binding). However, a lawsuit will likely be the only way you will be able to collect pain and suffering if you are battling an insurance company. A personal injury lawyer in your area can give a free consultation (see the yellow pages) and inform you of your state's laws on damages for pain and suffering, as well as any alternative dispute resolution forums in your area.
