How Personal Injury Settlements Are Calculated

Calculate Economic Damages

Add up all measurable financial losses: medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and future care costs.

Apply Pain Multiplier

Multiply economic damages by 1.5 to 5 (or higher for severe injuries) to account for pain and suffering.

Adjust for Factors

Consider liability clarity, insurance limits, documentation quality, and jurisdiction to refine the estimate.

Basic Settlement Formula

(Medical Bills + Lost Wages) × Pain Multiplier = Estimated Settlement

Example: ($20,000 medical + $10,000 lost wages) × 2.5 multiplier = $75,000 estimated settlement
