Check to see if you have uninsured motorist insurance if you were injured in the accident. If you have collision insurance, then call your insurance company to get your car fixed.

Worker's comp covers medical expenses and time out of work. You cannot sue your employer for negligence and damages for "pain and suffering" is not available. The trade-off is that you don't have to prove that your employer was negligent in order to pursue a comp claim; but even if you can prove that the employer was negligent, all you can pursue is a comp claim.

Your own car insurer should be paying for the medical care and treatment. Those benefits last for your daughter's life (which is 1 of the benefits the insurance industry and Michigan legislators are trying to take away from all motorists under the guise of "choice"). If you are asking what is a 3rd party case vs. an at fault owner/driver with such injuries, the answer is "it depends". It depends on how clear the relationship of the injury is to the crash, what the medical literature/studies say about the relationship, how strong her doctor is in his/her opinion/evidence of the relation, etc. There is no "formula" for the amount a settlement should be and depends on many factors, including, but not limited to: the nature/extent of the injury/treatment, the cost of the treatment, the "clearness" of the proximate cause of the injury to the crash, the reputation of the treating doctor, the mo of the defendant's insurance company, etc. It is best to have a lawyer review the facts/circumstances and give input.
