How This Calculator Works

This calculator uses the "multiplier method" commonly used by insurance companies and attorneys:

  1. Economic Damages: All quantifiable financial losses are totaled
  2. Pain & Suffering Multiplier: Economic damages are multiplied by a factor (1.5-5x) based on injury severity
  3. Adjustments: The total is adjusted based on liability clarity and available insurance
  4. Range Estimate: A range is provided to account for negotiation and case variables

Factors That Can Increase Settlement Value

  • Clear liability (other party obviously at fault)
  • Severe or permanent injuries
  • High medical bills and ongoing treatment needs
  • Significant lost wages or reduced earning capacity
  • Strong evidence (photos, witnesses, police reports)
  • Defendant's egregious conduct (drunk driving, texting)
  • Sympathetic plaintiff (child, elderly)

Factors That Can Decrease Settlement Value

  • Shared fault or contributory negligence
  • Pre-existing conditions
  • Gaps in medical treatment
  • Minor injuries with full recovery
  • Limited insurance coverage
  • Lack of evidence
  • Prior injury claims
