About this Car Accident Settlement Calculator

This calculator uses the multiplier method, the starting point most insurance adjusters and personal injury lawyers use. It adds your financial losses (medical bills and lost wages) to a pain-and-suffering figure, which is those losses multiplied by a factor set by how serious the injury is: 1.5 to 2 times for minor injuries, up to 4 to 5 times for catastrophic ones. The type of accident adjusts the result, and it is then reduced by your share of fault under California law.

California rules this calculator applies

Fault rule
Pure comparative fault. Your payout drops by your share of fault, but you can still recover even if you were mostly at fault.
Deadline to file
You generally have 2 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in California. Claims against a government body usually need formal notice much sooner, and medical malpractice and wrongful death claims can have their own deadlines.

General information about California law, not legal advice, and the estimate is not a guarantee of any outcome. A lawyer can tell you how these rules apply to your case.

What affects my car accident settlement amount in California?
Factors include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and your share of fault. California uses pure comparative fault, reducing payouts by your fault percentage.

Pain and suffering are estimated using a multiplier of 1.5 to 5 on medical costs, depending on injury severity from minor to catastrophic.

What is the statute of limitations for car accident claims in California?
You have 2 years from the injury date to file a personal injury claim in California. Claims against government entities require earlier notice.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?

Settlement times vary widely based on case complexity, but they can range from a few months to several years.

How do lawyer fees impact my car accident settlement in Fallbrook?
Lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, taking 33% to 40% of the settlement. This affects your net payout but not the gross settlement amount.
