This varies from case to case. The primary factor in the amount of the settlement is the percentage of fault of the defendant: the greater the percentage the defendant is At Fault, the greater the settlement amount. Since percentages of liability can be greatly contested, so can possible settlement amounts. Only a jury or judge can determine the actual liability (percentage of fault) after a trial (though this could also be accomplished through arbitration).
Slip and Fall cases, entail accidents that take place due to negligent maintenance and hazardous circumstances upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Owners of the property and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for people on their premises. Common situations giving rise to premises accidents include uneven floor surfaces, poorly marked changes in elevation, slippery surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators and broken steps. The first thing to do is determine the extent of any physical harm sustained in the accident and, if necessary, seek emergency medical treatment.
Added: To answer your actual question, no statistics are kept on average settlements in tort cases, and it is therefore unknown. Typically, settlements on personal injury cases for minor injuries are for approximately the amount of medical expenses incurred. The settlements for major injuries sometimes also include additional damages to compensate the injured for substantial loss of work/disability, but life changing injuries are rarely sustained in "slip and fall" actions.
In a settlement there will be no costs order from the Court, because it settled (before being ruled on by the Court). If costs are negotiated as part of the settlement there are many factors to take into consideration such as how complex the matter was, the likelihood of liability being found, quantum of damage, how far along in the litigation process the parties were, and any notable (mis)conduct of a party, if any. However, it all comes down to what the parties agree to, as a settlement is a result of reaching an agreement between the parties. Costs could easily be zero, or could be hundreds of thousands.
All cases are different so there is no way to say how much settlements are for a slip and fall accident with knee and back injuries. It will depend on the severity of the injury and whether or not negligence occurred on the part of the other party. How long you are out of work will also impact the settlement.
There are no "settlement amounts." If a party files a law suit and the defendant decides to offer a settlement, the parties will settle on whatever they agree to.

Whoever the victim is, their auto insurance will cover medical bills. This happened to me... As long as there was no auto accident and no damage to the vehicle, your auto insurance will pay for your injuries. If there is an auto accident that causes you to fall out of the moving vehicle, I am not sure how that would work...
