I'm curious as to how much my settlement claim is worth.?

I was in a car accident just under a year ago in Atlanta Ga. Since the wreck I have had two shoulder repairs performed within three months of one another. My neck and back hurt all the time, and I will most likely be receiving injections for the rest of my life to control the pain. My attorney has already filed suit against the faulty party's insurance company in Fulton Co. I do not like asking such questions because I feel that it screams "gold digger!!", but considering the amount of money my family has put out for copays at $30 a pop, and there have been a ton of "pops", medication which alone tops over $2000, gasoline for traveling to all of the doctor appt.s, and etc... we could surely use the money. My life has been altered from being an active mom who loved serving the community by volunteering for Meals on Wheels, our local charitable Thrift Store and Food Pantry, and being an active participant at my children's sports events. Now I spend my days as a pathetic couch potato! It seems that every time I attempt to resume any part of my previous schedule, I end up back in the doctor's office on pain meds. The other driver was 100% at fault being that this was a rear end crash. If I had a general idea as to what type of "pot" was waiting at the end of my personal "Rainbow," I feel like I would be a little more lively in spirit than the sad sap I've become. Perhaps this is a question for my attorney; I have such limited access to her though. Does anyone out in "Answers-land" have a general idea as to what I can expect?
