How This Calculator Works
Personal injury settlements generally have two components: economic damages (actual financial losses) and non-economic damages (pain & suffering, emotional distress).
The most common method insurers and plaintiff attorneys use is the multiplier method: total economic damages × a factor of 1.5 to 5, depending on injury severity.
If you share any fault for the accident, your recovery is reduced in most states (comparative negligence). Some states bar recovery entirely if you're more than 50% at fault.
