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 Virginia law.

Virginia rules this calculator applies

Fault rule
Contributory negligence. One of the strictest rules in the country: if you were even 1% at fault, you may recover nothing. A lawyer matters more here than anywhere.
Deadline to file
You generally have 2 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Virginia. 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 Virginia 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.
