Step 1 of 3 — Injury Information

Step 2 of 3 — Economic Damages

Economic damages are your calculable financial losses. Enter your best estimates — these are educational only.

Total Medical Expenses (Past & Expected Future) *

Include ER visits, imaging, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, and anticipated future treatment costs.

Lost Wages / Income (Past & Future)

Include time already missed from work and any estimated future earning capacity reduction.

💡 Why Medical Expenses Matter So Much

In most personal injury cases, pain & suffering damages are calculated as a multiple of your special damages (medical bills + lost wages). This is known as the "multiplier method." Higher documented medical specials typically result in proportionally larger offers — which is why thorough medical treatment and precise documentation of every expense is so important.

Step 3 of 3 — Liability & Fault

Liability — who is legally responsible — is often the single most important factor in what a case ultimately settles for.

How clear is the other party's fault in your case?

Very Clear — Strong evidence the other party was at fault (police report, video, witnesses, or admission). Mostly Clear — Evidence strongly favors you, but some facts are still in question. Disputed — The other party denies fault or claims shared responsibility. Unclear — Fault is genuinely uncertain or you may have been partially at fault.

⚖ Why Liability Changes Everything

Even a serious injury case can result in a dramatically lower settlement if liability is contested. Insurance companies price risk — the less certain your case, the lower their initial offers. An experienced personal injury attorney can often shift the liability narrative significantly through investigation, witness interviews, and expert analysis.

The Multiplier Method

Personal injury attorneys and insurance adjusters typically use the "multiplier method" to estimate settlement value:

Calculate economic base — Add up medical expenses + lost wages = your "specials."
Apply a multiplier (typically 1.5× to 5×, higher for catastrophic injuries) to your specials to estimate pain & suffering (noneconomic) damages. Multiplier is driven by severity, permanence, and injury type.
Adjust for liability — If fault is disputed, the expected value drops significantly.
Apply state law — Negligence rules and damage caps in your state affect the final picture.

Remember: Actual settlement value also depends on insurance policy limits, specific evidence, local jury tendencies, and your attorney's skill. This tool uses general ranges only.
