question..auto accident

I live in Nevada and have a question.
I was in an auto accident on the interstate. I was eastbound and a car from the westbound lane hit me. My question is about injury compensation. I wasnt seriously hurt..no broken bones and such..but I got my knees banged up real good. I am only 25 and am worried that as i get older i will have some problems w/ the knees because even after physical therapy and doctor visits I am not "good as new". Is there some kind of long term compensation you can get from the insurance companies? If so what is it called and how does it work?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
