How it works

Pain and suffering compensates for the non-economic toll of an injury. The multiplier method estimates it as a multiple of your medical bills, with the multiplier rising as the injury becomes more severe and lasting.

Frequently asked questions

Is there another way to value it?

Yes — the per-diem method assigns a daily dollar amount for each day of recovery. The multiplier method is more common for serious injuries; per-diem suits shorter, well-defined recoveries.
