Pain and suffering amount

by Jerry
(Texas)

My wife was struck by a car while riding her bicycle. The police report clearly stated the driver of the car was at fault, though no citation was issued. My wife was riding her bike in a bike lane, and the driver of the car pulled out from a stop sign and struck her.

My wife suffered an injury to her kneww. Though not serious, it is painful, swollen and continues to bleed more than a week after the accident. We have gone to the doctor, twice. In addition, she struck the pavement so hard that it broke her helmet. The doctor assured her there was no head injury, but there was some pain for a few days.

Obviously, there has been significant trauma involved in all of ths.

My question: How do we determine how much is a reasonable amount to request for the pain, suffering, and anguish she has experienced?

Thank you
