The answer to your question depends on many factors. Generally, the law provides that you are entitled to 1) all of your related medical bills being paid; 2) wages lost due to doctor "do not work" orders; and 3) compensation for disruption of your life, pain, suffering, inconvenience, aggravation. The fact that you were in someone else's car means nothing.
