Walmart never settles. (nor do they like to pay their attorneys, even when they win!) Surely you were just posting this to rant, or generate discussion, or something, and not actually considering it. If you are, be aware that the only way to get big medical bills is through medical treatment, and even if chiropracters have a deal with the local plaintiff's attorney, it doesn't mean that you'll see any of it. There are far quicker, more efficient, and less risky ways of making money.
If you are actually considering this, I actually (well, kinda, not really) hope you pick the wrong car to get hit by. One with a minimum policy of $20,000 that won't come close to covering legitimate injuries, and then the hospital that treats you puts a lien on any recovery. Since this lien is greater than the policy limit, so no attorney will take your case. Even if the other guy's insurance decides not to fight it and even if somehow you can convince the hospital to reduce its lien, the hospital will still take up all the proceeds of the other guy's insurance policy, leaving you with nothing but uncompensated pain and suffering and lost wages.
So don't try it.
