Personal Injury - what happens now?

Just hoping anyone with experience of a personal injury claim might know the answer to this. After a road accident I have a personal injury claim going through and had an appointment with a doctor about it today. I'm still in the care of the hospital and my recovery is on-going. The doctor I saw today said he would probably need to see me again - possibly in three years as that's how long it could take to be fully recovered, if I do recover fully.
It's left me wondering what happens now - does the claim continue to go through in the interim and some agreement is reached about whether I will recieve compensation with the final amount being agreed however many years down the line, or does the whole thing just get parked for a few years while they work out what my longterm prognosis is? Does the three year limit for making a claim get affected by this - or am I OK as long as the claim process has been started within that time?

The 3 year limit is to start a claim, so no worries on that score.
So more patience required.0
