Estimate a personal injury settlement range from damages and liability.
The multiplier method estimates pain and suffering as a multiple of medical expenses, typically between 1.5 and 5 depending on severity and permanence. Comparative fault then reduces the total by the claimant's share. Some jurisdictions bar recovery entirely above a fault threshold rather than merely reducing it, which changes the outcome from a discount to nothing at all.
Personal Injury Settlement
Settlement = (special damages + medical × multiplier) reduced by claimant fault share
