How much can I get for a serious accident on the highway?

Me, my boyfriend, and my two kids (7 and 5 month old) were involved in a serious collision on the highway. A big HINO truck rear ended the car behind me and then my car that I was driving. The entire trunk of my Honda Civic is gone. My 5 month old has some hearing loss in her right ear. My daughter suffued a concussion and some damage to her teeth. Also, she has been acting a bit strange lately, hopefully there's no brain injury but that's something that we will investigate. My boyfriend has a pinched nerve in his back and is no longer able to work ( who knows for how long). I had to drop my courses at university due to a back sprain I can't finish the rest of the summer term. How much do you think we can get for all this? I mean no amount of money will bring back all of my baby's hearing or change the fact that my 7 year old had a concussion. We live in Canada the laws are different here.

How could anyone here possibly even begin to answer this?

  • Is a squeaking noise when you let off the brake pedal in your car a serious problem? Whenever I let off the brake pedal in my Honda, I hear a squeak noise. Is this something that likely just needs to be lubricated/cleaned on the brake mechanism, or is it signs of a more serious problem? It is not the brake pads; those have been replaced recently. Is this something I need fixed As soon as possible, (possible brake failure) or is it something that just simple (not serious ) maintenance?
  • I can't find a 2012-14 Honda CRV or a 2013-15 Toyota RAV4 online that is < 15k, has < 50k miles and was never damaged or in an accident? A couple of weeks ago, my car (a 2009 crv) got totaled in an accident and am looking for a small, reliable suv (that has the same cargo space as my old car) so I've came across these two vehicles on various websites. Insurance gave my family ~9,000 for the automobile. Does anybody know if and how I can find one offline or for much less money based on my criteria?
  • 2007 Honda CR-V can't open spare tire compartment after accident? I got rear ended. The tailgate is toast, bumper doesn't look too bad but I can no longer open the spare tire compartment because the cover is jammed shut. The spare tire well looks fine from the outside though. Is this evidence of frame damage? Is my vehicle totalled?
  • Loud noise in the morning. Is this serious? When I start my car in the morning there's a loud noise coming from under the hood. Only way I can describe the noise is like if you were to put a paper sheet in a fan. Only happens in the morning for a minute or so. This is a newer Honda Civic with 70k miles. Only services done on car are oil/filter changes. Not a screech. More like chain rattling. Only happens in morning.
