Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

My 11 year old son and I were involved in a car accident. My car was totalled. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The other party was 100% at fault and was cited. The person at fault also has a long record. This person also has minimal insurance: $15,000 per person medical with $30,000 total per accident. I have full coverage. I will be handling the claim myself. My question is How do I calculate emotional trauma for a child? Since the accident he's been very afraid to ride in the car. My son had minor physical injuries and missed 10 days of school. Also my wife and 2 other children can upon the accident scene and were very traumitized. It was a block away from my home. Please advise as to these aggravating circumstances/emotional trauma issues and how to determine reasonable compensation. Your help is greatly appreciated.
