Personal Injury Claim Estimate Equation, Calculator, Factors

Although it is near impossible to determine an exact estimation online, there are a few general guidelines that one can follow in order to determine an estimate.

Compensation generally depends on pain of injury.

• Permanence
• Impairment
• Scars
• Emotional damage
• Medical expenses
• Treatment intensity
• Recovery time/lost income

Here is a basic equation to calculate an estimate or range of possible injury claims:

Maximum Compensation ($)= (Amount of Pain & Suffering Multiplier x Medical Expenses) + Lost Income

Pain Multiplier:
Depending on the severity of the injury, estimates can range from a low pain, sprained ankle (1.5), wheelchair-bound injury (3-5), to possibly even higher multiplier if permanent injuries or disabilities occur.

Medical Expenses:
The total amount of hospital expenses resulting from an accident.

Lost Income:
The amount of money one would have made working.

Injury Claim Calculator Example

Car accident:

• Medical expenses = $1500
• Injuries caused 5 missed work days, totaling $800

Claims amount = (1.5 to 5) x $1500 + $800
Claims amount = $3050 – $8300
