Answer
Hello Tim, She should ask for all pain and suffering plus diminished earning capacity.

There are many factors you need to consider and it is very hard to give you a straight answer with so little facts. Please visit: http://www.auto-insurance-claim-advice.com/bodily-injury-claim.html for more information about what she will be entitled to you.

Good Luck
