⚠ Educational Estimate Only This calculator provides rough estimates for educational purposes only. Personal injury settlements depend heavily on specific evidence, witness testimony, defendant's insurance, legal representation, and jurisdiction. This is NOT legal advice. Always consult a licensed personal injury attorney — most offer free consultations and work on contingency.

Personal injury attorneys work on contingency — you pay nothing unless you win. An attorney typically recovers 3–5x more than self-represented claimants.

How Personal Injury Settlements Are Calculated

The formula used by attorneys and insurers.

1️⃣

Calculate special damages

Add all medical bills (past + future), lost wages, property damage, and other out-of-pocket costs.

2️⃣

Apply the multiplier

Multiply special damages by 1.5 to 5 for pain & suffering based on severity and impact on your life.

3️⃣

Assess liability

Strong, clear liability can increase the multiplier. Disputed liability decreases it significantly.

4️⃣

Check insurance limits

The defendant's insurance policy limits cap the payout unless they have significant personal assets.

5️⃣

Negotiate

Attorneys negotiate with insurers. Most cases settle. Attorneys typically recover 3–5x more than unrepresented claimants.
