In terms of an out-of-court settlement, ask him for as much money as you deem appropriate (I would ask for at least 300k, or even half a million). If it goes to court, demand the maximum: medical expenses plus rehabilitation costs plus compensation for loss of earning capacity plus compensation for emotional distress. As I understand it, the driver was drunk (or left the scene of the accident)? It's a serious offense – up to seven years in prison, and if he doesn't reach an agreement with you, he could very well end up in jail.
His DPS officers let him go after the collision because he had a ticket for a business trip and was in a hurry. I was shocked when I found out. As the investigator says, he could face up to 3 years in prison if there's no settlement; if there is a settlement, he might get off lightly, perhaps with just a ban from driving in the region and Moscow. He's pretending to be broke and even claimed that he sold the car he used to hit you. Therefore, he should pay.
