How much is my ICBC claim worth?

[osbourne]

Hi there, I was recently in a car accident where I broke my neck " a burst fracture of my c7 vertebra". I spent 3 days in the hospital before the doc came to the conclusion i was content without surgery. I was then sent home with a neck brace to be worn for at least 6 weeks. I have some numbness in my left leg an have been getting constant head aches and obviously chronic neck, back pain as well as nightmares. I am 18 years old an have missed the last month of school 'including all extra activities i was involved in as well as my own commencement' I also still suffer the chance of not graduating because i am unable to attend my government exams due to my injury. My personal doctor says she thinks i'll be out of work for at least 6 months for rehab an healing, and on top of that I am now unable to attend post secondary education until properly healed because i wanted to be a music teacher. Now let me give you some details on the crash. We ' me the driver and a passenger, all N drivers' were driving on a gravel road when we hit a LARGE pothole while going about 30-40km and the driver lost control and tried to correct but failed, we were then tossed 100ft down a cliff side. I 'positioned in the driver side in the back seat' was then was released from my seatbelt and tossed 30ft from the car ' we are not sure if i was thrown out of a window or if the door flung open'. Concious during the entire accident. An hour later paramedics an police arrived, No drug use or Alcohol was found to be involved "which it wasn't". Another two hours passed then search and rescue finally were able to get me out of the ditch. i was brought to Abbotsford hospital in BC and was transferred 24hrs later to VGH in Vancouver. I have currently hired a lawyer to deal with my claim because i have siblings who suffered the consequence of not hiring one during their crash. My question is, How long will the process be dealing with my icbc claim and how much do you think my claim is worth? because i dont want to have nothing after my lawyers fee 'which is a fair%33 if go to court which i have been advised will occur.
