Im researching now to see what settlement she should be expecting for this type of injury, along with the missed work, emotional damage for the scar(very self conscious of it), and pain and suffering.
Between a dollar and a gazillion dollars. Nobody anywhere is going to be able to put an estimate on it other than a wild and meaningless guess, not even a personal injury lawyer.

A personal injury lawyer will pick a number based on all the details and make a demand. From then on it's subject to negotiation. If an agreement cannot be reached, a lawsuit follows and the question of damages goes to a jury.

Any settlement or award, of course, would be limited by the "per person" liability limit on the other driver's auto insurance policy.
