How is a personal injury settlement calculated?

Personal injury settlements are typically calculated using the multiplier method: total economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, property damage) multiplied by a factor of 1.5x to 10x depending on injury severity, then adjusted for liability percentage.

What is pain and suffering in a personal injury claim?

Pain and suffering covers non-economic damages like emotional distress and reduced quality of life. It's usually calculated as a multiple of medical bills.
