A: Hire an attorney to represent you today. There are probably at least three different defendants, who each might have separate insurance policies. Fighting the hospital liens will be difficult.

A: I'm very sorry for your loss. My colleague raises good points - it could be worth your while to consider a consult to help you better analyze things. Attorneys in Tennessee would likely offer you a free initial consult with no-obligation - that's customary in the legal field across the nation with such cases. Unfortunately, it could be difficult for any attorney to offer a direct answer to your question ("What is compensation?"). One would need to know something about liability (in other words, how fault panned out in the accident). Good luck
