Personal Injury Settlement Value by State

What a personal injury claim is realistically worth depends on your actual damages, how the insurance industry's multiplier method treats your injury's severity, and whether your state caps what you can recover for pain and suffering.

What's in a settlement value estimate

Each state page below walks through your economic damages (medical bills and lost wages), applies the multiplier method the insurance industry itself uses for pain and suffering, and — where the state actually caps non-economic damages in ordinary personal injury cases — shows how that cap limits the top end of the range. Every legal figure is tied to a cited source — see our methodology for how we verify each one.

Every state page provides an estimate for general guidance only and is not legal advice. Figures are based on cited state statutes and the multiplier method commonly used across the personal injury industry, verified per our methodology. Confirm what your specific claim is worth with a licensed attorney in your state before acting.
