You must know what damages you are entitled to in your State. Then you gather proof of those damages. Generally you add your medical bills to your wage loss to get what are called spacial damages. Then you add in your pain and suffering.
The greater your injury and the more it has interrupted your life the greater your damages that should be awarded. For instance if your injury is permanent and you will have pain the rest of your life and your ability to stand or walk is decreased those are factors that should go into the calculation of your damages.
You also need to research what juries in your area are awarding for similar injuries. Often in a serious injury claim it is best to seek the advice of an experienced personal injury lawyer that can guide you and help you to not only calculate the value of your injury, but help you get that value from the insurance company.
