I am very sorry to hear about your accident.  It is not possible to give you a value of your personal injury claim through a forum such as this.  There are many facts that we would need to know about your case before we would be able to begin to evaluate it.  You have some significant injuries.  A personal injury claim is meant to compensate you for your medical bills, lost wages, permanent injuries and pain and suffering.  Without knowing all of the facts of your case, it is not possible to give you a fair answer here.  I would strongly suggest you contact a personal injury attorney in your area.  He or she will be able to hear all of the facts of your case and give you a fully informed answer as to what your legal options are at this point and what your claim may be worth.  Handling a personal injhury claim on your own can be difficult.  They are time consuming and exhausting.  I would strongly suggest you consult with an attorney to assist you.  Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee, meaning you have no out of pocket attorney fees until your case is settled.  Good luck to you.
