It is impossible to answer this question without knowing all of the facts of your case. In general a personal injury settlement should include compensation for your medical bills, past and future, lost wages and pain and suffering among other things. It sounds like you have a significant injury. I would strongly suggest you consult with an attorney specializing in personal injury in regards to your case. Handling a personal injury claim on your own can be difficult and there are many laws and deadlines you must comply with. The insurance company is going to have a professional on their side and his or her job is going to be to pay you as little as possible. You should have a professional on your side too.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
