How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Total Medical Bills and Future Medical Costs — medical bills also drive the pain and suffering calculation.
- Enter Lost Wages and Future Lost Earnings as the remainder of your economic damages.
- Set the Pain & Suffering Multiplier (1x–5x) — it's applied to your medical bills to estimate non-economic damages.
- Set Liability Strength (10%–100%) — how clear-cut fault is against the other party; weaker liability scales the settlement estimate down proportionally.
- Review Estimated Settlement along with the Low and High Estimate range (±30%).
- Compare Economic Damages, Pain & Suffering, and the Per Diem Alternative to see how the total breaks down.
