Use our personal injury claim calculator to find out an accurate estimate of the compensation amount for a car accident, slip & fall, workplace incidences, or other types of personal injury cases.
Insurance companies and different law firms, though, utilize different formulas to commence initial settlement discussions.
A common formula employed involves a multiplier and the medical expenses incurred by the person concerned to calculate an estimate of the non-economic damages (i.e. money for emotional pain & suffering). This amount is then added to the person’s economic expenses or losses (medical bills, property damage, lost income, etc.) to obtain a negotiable dollar amount.
Our personal injury compensation calculator below will help you achieve just that.

There may be several other factors involved in the calculation of the settlement amount in a personal injury case. The personal injury settlement calculator offers a tentative estimate.
Consult with a professional attorney or lawyer regarding the details of your case before making any claim or settlement demands.
NOTE: General damages, such as inflicted pain & suffering, are challenging to quantify. The multiplier allows one to put a dollar value on such losses. The multiplier value will vary according to the extent and severity of personal injuries, the level of treatment necessary, time of recovery, the impact on livelihood, and several other factors.
