Frequently Asked Questions

Settlements typically include special damages (medical bills + lost wages + property damage) multiplied by a pain multiplier (1.5x-5x based on injury severity) to estimate general damages. The total gives a settlement range.

The pain multiplier reflects injury severity. Soft tissue injuries use 1.5-2x, moderate injuries 2-3x, serious injuries like fractures 3-4x, and severe injuries like TBI or spinal cord damage 4-5x or higher.

Personal injury attorneys typically work on contingency, taking 33% of the settlement if resolved before trial and 40% if it goes to trial. Some also deduct case expenses from the settlement amount.

Legal Disclaimer

This calculator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice. Personal injury settlements vary enormously based on factors this calculator cannot account for, including liability determination, comparative fault, jurisdiction, insurance company practices, quality of evidence, and attorney skill.

The pain multiplier method shown here is one of several approaches used in settlement negotiations. Insurance companies may use computer algorithms (like Colossus) that produce different results. Jury verdicts at trial can also differ significantly from pre-trial estimates.

Permanent disability calculations, future medical costs, and future lost wages should be evaluated by qualified medical and economic experts. Tax implications of settlements also vary.

Always consult a licensed personal injury attorney in your jurisdiction to evaluate your specific case. Most personal injury attorneys offer free initial consultations.
