What to do if I was hit head on by a guy who was speeding and passed in a no pass zone over a blind hill?
He was going 75 mph in an 55 mph zone. My medical bills total around $7,800. I had limited use of my left arm and right leg for about a month. I was also put on anxiety medication 2 weeks after the accident after spending 2 weeks without eating or sleeping and having panic attacks. How much can I expect from a settlement.

First, this is a serious accident and you are very lucky to have escaped without major serious injuries. There are many factors to consider when attempting to settle a personal injury claim, so it is difficult to evaluate the value of a claim through a question like this. You are entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and any future disability you may have as a result of this accident. I would strongly suggest that you at least consult a personal injury attorney. Most personal injury attorneys offer free first time consultations. It is very difficult to attempt to settle a personal injury claim on your own without experienced legal help. Good luck to you.
