My crystal ball is cloudy. Since I do not know how the accident happened, what the strengths and weaknesses are, how credible the witnesses are, and basically nothing about the case, I cannot answer, and most likely no one else can either.

It depends on the facts concerning liability, damages and collectability as well as your location. Consult a personal injury lawyer in your area. Good luck.

First of all, please be aware that there really is no such thing as a "minor" head concussion. While traumatic brain injury used to be categorized as "mild", "moderate", and "severe" (based on duration of loss of consciousness), today it is universally recognized that and individual can sustain a traumatic brain injury (tbi) without loss of conscious. On the so-called "mild" end of the spectrum (there really isn't anything mild about a permanent brain injury) about 80-85% of the individuals return to full pre-morbid (pre-injury) levels of function. But that means that 15-20% do not. A prominent San Francisco neuropsychologist dubbed that group the "miserable minority" in a paper he wrote in the early 1980's. Where symptoms persist, they can be debilitating. Attention, concentration, memory, quickness to fatigue, etc., may be impacted. This is referred to as executive dysfunction. Settlement values vary dependent upon the degree of impairment. Be certain that you are dealing with a firm experienced in handling tbi cases.

There is no such. any settlement is based on liability, injury, bills, dr reports, wage loss, future medicals, permanency. Until you know all these things you cant talk about settlement.

This is a question that you should be asking your attorney. If you don't have an attorney, then you are making a serious mistake if your injuries are as serious as you state them to be. Without knowing exactly what your medical experts are saying vis-a vis your expected future condition, it is impossible for any competent attorney to even speculate on what the "estimated settlement" should be.

As indicated in multiple prior answers to "value my case" questions, there is no mathematical formula/table that applies to personal injury cases in MIchigan. The value of any case depends on multiple factors involving the liability facts, the damage facts and also an analysis of seemingly unrelated factors such as what is the insurers track record in dealing with such cases, the county in which the case will/would be brought, the likeability of the Plaintiff and Defendant, the reputation/skill of the respective lawyers, etc. The only way to get a probable range of settlement/verdict values is to get a free consultation with a local Michigan lawyer that regularly handles they type of case you have in terms of the injury mechanism (ie: car crash, premises liability, workers comp, product liability, construction liability, etc.).

It would depend upon the extent and the proof thereof. Such case could settle anywhere from several thousand dollars to up to perhaps $1,000,000 for more. The term "blurred vision," is pretty ambiguous. Do you have blurred vision all the time? Does it come and go? Is it getting better? Is it so blurry that you can only make out vague forms? Most attorneys will consult with you for free on such case. Go talk to an attorney. The other reality of settlements are what are the insurance limits and assets of the person who caused your harm? If you are being offered policy limits and the person who caused your harm has no assets, usually the prudent thing to do is to accept the settlement offer especially if all that is going to happen if you litigate is you will get the policy limits and then any judgment rendered above this amount will be discharged in bankruptcy.
