You can sue for invasion of privacy which is the appropriation of your name or likeness for commercial purposes without your consent.
It is not possible to predict how much you may recover because each case is different. For example, are you seeking damages (monetary compensation) for emotional distress? Are you seeking punitive damages ( a substantial amount to punish the intentional wrongful act)?
