Personal Injury Calculation Example

Explore hypothetical arithmetic, not a prediction or valuation of your claim. The starting numbers are examples; replace them with your own assumptions. Not legal advice.

An arbitrary illustration, not a recommended multiplier or a rule used to value claims.

Actual fault rules vary by jurisdiction and may bar recovery rather than reduce it proportionally.

The default is 0%, not a statement about actual fees. Fee agreements differ.

Illustrative calculation

Medical costs (past + future)$20,000
Lost earnings (past + future)$8,000
Hypothetical pain and suffering (3× medical costs)$60,000
Subtotal before reductions$88,000
Assumed fault reduction (0%)−$0
Assumed fee (0% after fault)−$0
Example result$88,000

This is not an expected settlement or take-home amount. It excludes policy limits, other damages, costs, medical liens, and many legal rules. Future losses are uncertain. See assumptions and limitations.

How this calculator works

The tool adds past and assumed future medical costs and lost earnings, then adds a hypothetical pain and suffering amount based on a multiplier you choose. It applies your assumed proportional fault reduction and fee percentage. These assumptions are not evidence of an actual settlement or the legal rules governing your claim.

See the complete formula and limitations, including items the model leaves out. A lawyer can help assess your particular circumstances, applicable deadlines and any fee agreement; representation does not guarantee a particular result.
