Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this settlement calculator?

Our calculator provides estimates based on typical settlement ranges and factors that influence case values. Actual settlements vary based on specific circumstances, evidence, and legal representation. Use this as a starting point and consult with an attorney for a precise evaluation.

What factors affect my settlement value?

Key factors include severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, liability clarity, permanent disability, and your location. Insurance policy limits and the defendant's ability to pay also play significant roles.

Most personal injury cases settle within 6 months to 2 years. Simple cases with clear liability may settle faster, while complex cases or those going to trial can take longer.

While you can negotiate directly with insurance companies, studies show that accident victims with legal representation typically receive 3-4 times higher settlements than those without attorneys.
