How the multiplier method works
Personal-injury damages fall into two buckets. Economic damages are your measurable losses: medical bills, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket costs. Non-economic damages — pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life — are harder to measure. The multiplier method estimates non-economic damages by multiplying your economic damages by a factor (commonly 1.5× for minor injuries up to 5× for severe, permanent injuries), then adds the two together.
In Texas, your result is then adjusted for fault. Under proportionate responsibility (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ch. 33), your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame — and if you are more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. This calculator applies that 51% bar automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How is a personal injury settlement calculated?
A common rule of thumb is the multiplier method: add up your economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket costs), then multiply them by a number — often 1.5 to 5 depending on severity — to estimate pain and suffering. The total is a starting point for negotiation, not a guaranteed value.
Does my own fault reduce my settlement in Texas?
Yes. Texas uses modified comparative fault (proportionate responsibility). Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault you generally recover nothing (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001).
Why is the result shown as a range?
Because no calculator can value a real claim. Actual settlements depend on liability, available insurance limits, the strength of the evidence, the venue, and negotiation. The range is an educational estimate only.
Does the estimate include attorney fees or medical liens?
No. This estimate does not subtract attorney fees, medical liens, or unpaid bills, and it does not cap the number at the at-fault party's insurance policy limits — all of which can significantly change what you actually take home.
