This estimator uses the multiplier method insurers commonly apply to bodily-injury claims. It is an educational tool, not legal advice, and it does not predict the outcome of any specific case. Consult a licensed attorney in your state.

The same multiplier method insurers use — medical bills, lost wages, severity and fault. Educational estimate, not legal advice.
