1. There is no concrete set amount for any type of injury as there are variables in each case. Contact an accident victims attorney, who will most likely advise you on the matter. Most likely you will at least receive any out of pocket expenses relating to the hospital visit, loss time from work, pay for any individual needed to assist you in daily needs, etc... they will be better qualified to list out damages you can file. Best of luck to you.
2. It depends on what state you're in, how bad the accident was, how long your recovery took, if there is any permanent injury, etc. you could consult an atty now, but they'll probably want to represent you and then they get 33% of the fees. I would turn your medical bills into your own auto insurance and your health insurance to get those bills paid, and then once your treatment is completed, the other insurance company will order all your records and bills, review them and present you with an offer. With this kind of injury, it could take some time. I would wait for their offer and then decide what to do from there. I would think for something like this you'd get approx. $5K, but maybe more depending on other factors. Once you get their offer, if you don't feel like it's enough, then you can consult an attorney.
