How the car accident settlement calculator works
This car accident settlement calculator starts with your bills and your lost pay. It adds a pain figure: your bills times a multiplier, 1.5 to 2 for a sprain and up to 4 or 5 for surgery. No statute sets those numbers; they are the range adjusters and lawyers use.
Fault comes off last, under your state's rule from the state fault table.
Each state has its own fault rule; in 36 states being about half to blame ends the claim.See every state.
On the example numbers, the pain figure alone is $12,000 to $20,000.
So an offer near $10,400 pays the bills and the pay and nothing for the pain.
What a lawyer changes
A lawyer does not change the formula. They change the inputs: bills you forgot, future care your doctor writes down, records that push the multiplier up.
You pay no fee unless you win, and about a third when you do. The contingency fee page works out when that still leaves you ahead.
Settlement calculator questions
How do I calculate my settlement amount?
Add your medical bills and your lost pay. Then add a figure for pain, often your bills times 1.5 to 5. If you were partly at fault, take your share off the total.
How much is my case worth?
Start from what the bills, the pay and the pain add up to, less your share of fault. A calculator gives a range, not a promise. A lawyer on a free call can tell you where your claim sits in that range.
Does the injury settlement calculator work for any state?
The math is the same everywhere. The fault rule is not. Pick your crash state and the estimate applies that state's fault rule.
Why is my offer lower than the calculator?
Insurers pick the low end of the multiplier and question bills they think were not needed. Call us with the offer and a lawyer will show you which bills they left out.
