The short answer is, "What a jury would award." But predicting that number is the longer and harder answer.
Another answer is "What the two parties involved agree upon." As in all negotiations, the side with the most knowledge and experience has the advantage. If you are unsure or uncomfortable dealing with someone about an auto accident, I urge you to get help on your side.

This question illustrates old adage, you can eliminate the middleman, but you can not eliminate his function.
An experienced and skilled personal injury attorney will guide you to the right physicians, ask for the correct reports, evaluate your case and put a fair price on it. A skillful personal injury lawyer will know if you have the possibility of future injury (for example, in a close injury you have an increased likelihood of epilepsy) and will evaluate for that. Finally, a skillful lawyer will know about liability, who is at fault in the accident, and make the proper adjustment. Find a lawyer you trust.
That does not mean that you have to accept a one third contingency. Many firms, including this one, will negotiate a fee when circumstances warrant it. Beware though, it is the value of your case that matters most, not the fee.
