FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the multiplier method?

A commonly taught illustrative approach where medical expenses are multiplied by a factor reflecting injury severity to estimate non-economic damages.

What multiplier should I use?

Minor injuries often use lower multipliers (1.5-2), while severe or long-term injuries may use higher ones (up to 5) — this is subjective and case-specific.

Is this a guaranteed award amount?

No, this is an illustrative estimate only — actual awards depend on many case-specific and jurisdictional factors.

How is this different from the full Personal Injury Calculator?

This isolates just the pain and suffering component; the main Personal Injury Calculator also totals your economic damages.
