How the calculator works

The same method many attorneys and adjusters start from. Transparent on purpose, so you can see where the number comes from.

STEP 01

Add economic damages

Medical bills, lost wages, and out-of-pocket costs are the foundation.

STEP 02

Apply a multiplier

Pain and suffering is estimated by multiplying your economic damages by 1.5 to 5, based on severity.

STEP 03

Get the gross range

Economic damages plus pain and suffering gives a gross settlement range.

STEP 04

Adjust for fault

If you were partly at fault, the gross is reduced by your share under your state rule.

STEP 05

Subtract fees

Attorney fees, costs, and medical liens come out to estimate your net recovery.

A worked example

How a moderate injury with $20,000 in economic damages and no shared fault might estimate out.

Economic damages (bills + lost wages)$20,000
Pain and suffering (3x multiplier)$60,000
Gross settlement value$80,000
Attorney fee (33%)minus $26,400
Estimated medical lienminus $10,000
Estimated net to client$43,600

Settlement questions, answered

Clear answers about how injury value works. For your case, a local attorney can go deeper.

A calculator gives a reasonable starting range, not a promise. Real settlements depend on the exact medical records, the insurance policy limits, the jurisdiction, your state fault rule, and unnegotiated medical liens. Use the number to understand the ballpark, then let an attorney value the specifics.

It estimates pain and suffering by multiplying your economic damages by a number between 1.5 and 5. Minor injuries fall near the bottom, and severe or permanent injuries near the top. It is one common approach, and the per-diem method is another.

Usually yes. Most states reduce your recovery by your percentage of fault. A few bar recovery entirely if you share any blame. The calculator reduces the gross by the fault percentage you enter.

The gross is the total value before anything is taken out. Your net is what reaches you after attorney fees, which are often around a third, plus case costs and any medical liens that must be repaid from the settlement.

Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. You can also connect free with a local attorney who can review your situation and give you a more specific estimate.
