Settlement Amount

Settlement Amount
I am located in Mo. I had lawn mower slide off a terrace and into a creek on top of me. I broke my T-11 vertibrae. I had surgery to put two steel rods along my spine. I have been in therapy going on a year. I should be getting released June 8th. My doctor does not think I will be able to return to work. I have numbness from my knees down. I have some back pain. I also have a foot drop which makes my balance a little off. I was just wondering how do they figure a settlement on something like that and are they responsible for retraining.
