A PI Settlement Calculator That Actually Reflects Your Jurisdiction

Every PI attorney has used a back-of-envelope settlement calculator — special damages times some multiplier, adjusted for liability. It's a starting point. It's also not how cases get valued in practice.

What Actually Drives Settlement Value

Real settlement values are functions of venue history, treating provider reputation, adjuster relationships, and the specific facts of the injury. A generic multiplier loses every nuance that matters.

What a Better Model Looks Like

• Jurisdiction-specific multiplier ranges based on actual recovered cases
• Provider-specific reputation weighting
• Liability-adjustment by venue (some courts apportion liability very differently)
• Historical recovery data from your own firm's prior matters

Using It in Practice

The best use is at mediation prep, when the attorney needs a defensible number to walk in with. A model that reflects your firm's actual history is more credible than a national average — and clients understand it better.
