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 North Dakota law. In North Dakota, a no-fault state, it also separates what your own PIP insurance pays from what you can claim from the other driver.
North Dakota is a no-fault state. After a car accident, your own personal injury protection (PIP) pays your medical bills and 85% of your lost income, up to $30,000, whoever caused the crash.
You can claim pain and suffering from the at-fault driver only if your injury includes serious and permanent disfigurement, a disability lasting more than 60 days, dismemberment, or death, or your medical bills exceed $2,500. Financial losses above your PIP limit can still be claimed.
Motorcycle riders are generally outside PIP and follow the ordinary fault rules. Choose Motorcycle Accident in the calculator above to see that estimate.
