About this Personal Injury 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 Ohio law.
Ohio rules this calculator applies
- Fault rule
- Modified comparative fault (51% bar). Your payout drops by your share of fault. If you were 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.
- Deadline to file
- You generally have 2 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Ohio. Claims against a government body usually need formal notice much sooner, and medical malpractice and wrongful death claims can have their own deadlines.
