Settlement calculator by body part
Six dedicated calculator pages, each tuned to the typical injury patterns, surgical thresholds, and jury verdict ranges for that body part. Same multiplier method, with body-part-specific severity bands and warnings.
Neck injury
Whiplash, herniated cervical disc, fusion. Soft-tissue cases without imaging settle $5K–$20K. MRI-positive cases settle $20K–$60K. Surgical fusion reaches $150K–$250K.
Open calculator → Spine · ~$20K–$300K rangeBack injury
Lumbar strain, herniated disc, fusion. The biggest body-part category by settlement value. Surgical back cases (microdiscectomy, fusion) settle for 4–6× non-surgical equivalents.
Open calculator → Joint · ~$15K–$220K rangeShoulder injury
Rotator cuff tear, labral repair, replacement. Arthroscopic surgery is the median path. Range of motion at MMI is the negotiation point.
Open calculator → Joint · ~$15K–$200K rangeKnee injury
ACL tear, meniscus repair, total knee replacement. ACL cases consistently outperform meniscus on the same wage because surgery is required.
Open calculator → Hand · ~$10K–$150K rangeFinger injury
Fractures, lacerations, amputations. Thumb cases pay 2–3× the other fingers because of the impact on grip and earning capacity.
Open calculator → Fracture · ~$12K–$170K rangeBroken arm
Closed reduction, ORIF (surgical with hardware), compound. The presence of hardware doubles the typical settlement and bumps the impairment rating.
Open calculator →For accidents not tied to a single body part, use the personal injury settlement calculator or the pain and suffering calculator. For workplace injuries covered by workers compensation, see the workers comp calculator.
