Hi Adam and welcome to the boards. I just want to say that absent more knowledge of the facts i think it is premature to predict a seven figure recovery in this case. As you know, the expectations that creates can really hamper getting a client to agree to a settlement that is based in reality when the time comes.
I am not an attorney but I do work for a firm that handles high value PI cases. And I am in Texas where the value of PI cases has been driven down by a combination of the death of the made whole doctrine, the successful jury pool taint from the "greedy plaintiff gets millions from frivolous lawsuit" public relations campaigns of the past 20 years or so, and appellate courts knocking down jury awards, so I am in a different climate than OP's state.
All I'm saying is that if a person gets his mind set on a million dollars or more, it can create problems.
