The calculator uses the industry-standard Multiplier Method, which is commonly employed by attorneys and insurance companies to estimate personal injury compensation. This method calculates damages by multiplying medical expenses and other quantifiable losses by a specific factor.

This calculator provides an estimate for informational and educational purposes only. Actual settlements vary widely depending on specific case facts, evidence quality, jurisdiction, liability strength, and many other legal factors that go beyond what the calculator can assess.

No. The estimate does not deduct attorney fees. On a contingency basis, attorney fees typically range from 33-40% of your settlement, which would be deducted from your final recovery.

Many factors can significantly impact your settlement, including:

• Quality of evidence and documentation
• Strength of liability (who is at fault)
• Your state’s comparative fault laws
• Insurance policy limits
• Trial risk and judge/jury considerations
• Medical expert testimony
• State-specific damage caps
• Any pre-existing conditions

Yes. Even if your calculated damages are higher, insurance policy limits may cap your actual recovery regardless of the damages calculated.

No. Punitive damages are not included in the calculator’s estimate. These damages may apply in cases involving gross negligence or intentional harm but require separate legal analysis and approval.
