Question 1

Is the settlement estimate guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No, this tool provides an approximation based on input data and common legal standards; it does not guarantee a court-awarded amount or insurance payout.

Question 2

Does the calculator include legal fees?

Accepted Answer

Typically, calculators estimate the gross settlement. You must subtract your attorney's contingency fee (often 33-40%) to find your net recovery.

Question 3

How do insurance companies value pain and suffering?

Accepted Answer

Adjusters look at injury severity, duration of recovery, and the long-term impact on your daily life, often assigning a daily monetary value for the duration of your recovery period.
