📐 How We Calculate This

Settlement estimates use the multiplier method commonly applied by insurance adjusters: total medical expenses × a severity multiplier (1.5-5×) plus lost wages. The multiplier depends on injury severity, permanence, and impact on daily life.

Every case is unique. This calculator provides a rough estimate only — actual settlements depend on liability, jurisdiction, insurance policy limits, and attorney negotiation. Consult a licensed personal injury attorney for case-specific advice.
