Welcome to the GJEL Accident Attorneys Personal Injury Settlement Calculator. This tool is designed to give you a rough estimate of what your personal injury claim might be worth.
However, please keep in mind that this is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
Every personal injury case is unique, with many factors influencing the potential settlement amount. This calculator provides a general estimate based on common factors, but it cannot account for all the nuances of your specific situation.
If you believe you have a valid personal injury claim, it’s crucial to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can provide a more accurate evaluation of your case, ensure your rights are protected, and help you navigate the complex legal process.
Remember, time is often of the essence in personal injury cases. Evidence can disappear, memories can fade, and there are legal time limits (statutes of limitations) for filing claims. Don’t delay in seeking professional legal advice if you think you have a case.
Use the calculator below to get a preliminary idea of your potential settlement, but for a comprehensive evaluation of your case, please contact GJEL Accident Attorneys for a free consultation.

Calculating Your Personal Injury Claim Value
At GJEL, we use sophisticated methods to calculate claim values, but here are two common approaches for initial estimates:
The Calculation Method
This method is used primarily for economic or “special” damages:
- Sum up all actual expenses incurred due to the accident
- Include future projected costs related to the injury
Example:
- Medical bills: $10,000
- Lost wages: $10,000
- Vehicle repair: $2,000
- Miscellaneous expenses: $1,500
- Total economic damages: $23,500
The Multiplier Method
This method is often used to estimate non-economic or “general” damages:
- Multiply the total special damages by a factor between 1.5 and 5
- Higher multipliers (4 or 5) are typically used for catastrophic injuries
Example:
- Economic damages: $50,000
- Multiplier (for moderate injury): 3
- Estimated non-economic damages: $150,000
- Total estimated settlement: $200,000
“While these methods provide a starting point, at GJEL, we dig deeper. We consider every nuance of a case to ensure our clients receive fair and full compensation.” – Andy Gillin
