Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
Settlement Value = (Medical Bills + Lost Wages) + (Multiplier × Medical Special Damages)

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Economic Special Damages Summation

Specials = Past Medical ($18,500) + Future Medical ($6,500) + Lost Wages ($5,200) = $30,200.00.

2
General Damages Multiplier Formulation

Insurance adjusters calculate non-economic pain and suffering by applying a multiplier to medical specials. Pain & Suffering = ($18,500 + $6,500) × 2.5 = $62,500.00.

3
Gross Settlement Range

Baseline Settlement = Special Damages ($30,200) + General Damages ($62,500) = $92,700.00 (typically negotiating between $85k and $105k depending on liability clarity and policy limits).

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine the personal injury multiplier? +
Key factors include: severity and permanency of injury (fractures vs whiplash), objective diagnostic imaging (MRI findings), duration of physical therapy, disruption of daily activities, and clear liability fault of the defendant.
Can a settlement exceed the defendant's auto insurance policy limits? +
Settlements are practically capped by the defendant's bodily injury liability policy limits (e.g. $50,000 or $100,000) unless you carry Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage or the defendant has personal attachable assets.
