Personal Injury Settlement Calculator 2019

By Leave a Comment

Personal Injury Calculator for Settlements

Usually a good personal injury lawyer can hear your case info and have a good idea of what kind of settlement you will be in line for.  Yet there are some tools out there that can guess at these amounts.

Lawyer Calculator is an incredible resource for anyone looking for an accident settlement claim approximation. After answering a few quick questions about your claim, Lawyer Calculator’s proprietary algorithm takes all of these factors into consideration when providing you with a claim estimate. Lawyer Calculator’s lawyer database can then help you immediately find the best representation in your area.

What type of accidents does Lawyer Calculator work for?

Lawyer Calculator can help you calculate your potential personal injury settlement for a car accident, motorcycle accident, slip and fall accident, medical malpractice and wrongful death. There is also an “other” category that can be used for any other type of personal injury settlement calculation.

HOW IT WORKS 

#1- Asks “Type of Accident”…. I choose Car Accident…

#2- Asks “Where did Accident Occur?” …… I Choose Chicago, Il

#3- Aks “When did Accident Happen? …. I choose today

 

#4- Asks ” What pain and suffering has your accident caused?” …..

#5- Asks ” What current financial damages has your accident caused  ?”… There are different sections for A-Property Damage, B-Out Of Pocket Expenses, C- Medical Expenses and D- Lost Wages.  The amounts you can put in range from o-1K to 50k plus.

#6- Asks “What future financial damages will your accident result in?” ….  Here you have sections for ‘estimated future lost income’ and ‘Estimated future medical expenses’.

Putting in the area of Chicago, Il and 50k on each of the different damages sections came out with a $300,000 estimated settlement. Yet different geographic areas would come up with different results.

Example if you put your LOCATION as Boston, MA and did Medical Malpractice instead of car accident, and then put in FRACTURE and surgery, along with different amounts related to damages, say all at 25-50k . Then your settlement amount would be $230,000.

Then if you put in that you had only minor pain and not much expenses, it would only be $16,200 – 19,000.

YET if you had an actual Wrongful Death case, then it could be as high as 50 million dollars!  It all depends on a lot of factors and why you should always hire a TOP Personal Injury Lawyer who gets results for clients. Personal Injury Settlement Calculator is a great tool and unlike many other tools, you dont need to put in any email or contact info, it just works!

Understanding Comparative Negligence in a Slip and Fall Accident

Comparative negligence is used to describe the share of fault attributable to each party in a slip and fall accident case. To win a slip and fall lawsuit in Illinois, the injured party must prove that the property owner was negligent in providing safe property conditions and/or maintenance of the property, and that the owner’s negligence was primarily responsible for the accident. Because the amount recovered is reduced by the percentage of fault held by the victim, comparative negligence can significantly impact a plaintiff’s verdict.

Proving Comparative Negligence

In slip and fall cases, comparative negligence has to do with whether the plaintiff was negligent in connection with the accident. Comparative negligence compares the degree of fault between the plaintiff and the defendant. Although property owners have a duty to keep property safe from dangerous conditions that could cause injuries, that doesn’t always mean that the owner was negligent if injuries occur.

Most Common Types of Car Accidents that Cause Whiplash

Rear-end collisions are known to be the most common type of car accidents that result in whiplash injury.

Whiplash is also known as a neck sprain caused from over extending the necks natural range of motion.

When you are in a rear-end collision the victims in the front car are hit pretty hard from behind causing then sudden impact to fling the person forward and backward resulting in whiplash injury.

But there are many other types of accidents that cause whiplash such as:

  • Car or truck accidents
  • Slips and falls
  • Abuse such as shaken baby syndrome
  • Skiing wipeouts
  • Sport injuries

All of these result in soft tissue injuries such as whiplash that not only affect your neck but sometimes your back. The muscles and ligaments tighten causing discomfort and soreness. 

How serious is whiplash?

Whiplash is often overlooked because the symptoms do not always present themselves right away. This is why it is important to seek medical care right after an accident.

Common symptoms of whiplash are:
  • Neck stiffness
  • Neck pain with movement
  • Headaches
  • Loss of range of motion in your neck
  • Tingling in your arms
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Soreness in your shoulders and upper back
