You can go to your county law library to get this information. It's usually free of charge.

There is no formula for personal injury compensation. Every case is different. Courts do not use a "table of compensation."
The general rule of thumb in personal injury cases is to take the amount of your medical bills and triple them. That figure often represents a reasonable amount of pain and suffering recovery. For instance, if your medical bills were $ 25,000 your pain and suffering compensation would be $ 75,000. Total reasonable recovery would be in the realm of $ 100,000. It could be even more with aggravating circumstances (wage loss, property loss, etc.)
This is a general idea only, possibly limited to California. Also keep in mind that this is not a rule of court or statute. It's just something defense attorneys will generally use to calculate what they believe a reasonable settlement should be.
