How injury settlement amounts are estimated

A personal-injury settlement combines economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care) with non-economic damages (pain and suffering), often estimated as a multiplier of the economic total.

The multiplier — commonly 1.5 to 5 — rises with injury severity, permanence and clear liability, and falls where fault is shared or injuries are soft-tissue and short-lived.

These figures are estimates, not promises: insurers weigh documentation, jurisdiction and comparative fault, so a calculator gives a realistic range to anchor expectations, not a guaranteed number.
