FAQ
Past loss of earnings is typically calculated by obtaining wage slips pre-dating (often for a period of at least three months or 13 weeks) and post-dating the accident, calculating the average net monthly wage prior to the accident and deducting the net monthly wage following the accident to provide a net loss.
The extent of the physical and psychological injuries sustained is the primary determinant of compensation amounts. More severe injuries generally lead to higher compensation because they typically require more extensive medical treatment, and a longer recovery period, and result in greater pain and suffering.
The “per diem” method of calculating pain and suffering damages is simple – set a daily rate for pain and suffering and multiply it by the number of days that the pain and suffering continued. The hard part, and the part where lawyers would argue, is determining the daily rate.
It's important to note there are two types of injury compensation (damages): General Damagescompensate you for the pain and suffering of your injuries and the impact they've had on your life. Special damages reimburse you for any financial losses you incurred as a direct result of the accident and your injuries.
Multiplier Method For example, medical bills, lost earnings, and costs of property damage are economic damages. Once we have an accurate value of your economic damages, this number is multiplied to get your damages for pain and suffering. The multiplier is usually a number between 1.5 and 5.

Keep in mind that an insurance adjuster will not inform you of what formula they used to come up with the worth of your claim.
The Multiplier method adds up all incurred costs like medical bills, lost wages, etc. along with inevitable future costs. It then takes that total and multiplies it 1.5 to 5 times that amount depending on the severity of the pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
When it comes to pain and suffering, the settlement amount has no set limit. It is entirely up to the insurance company and your attorney to negotiate this amount. Should your case go to trial, the jury is responsible for establishing the value of pain and suffering.
The Process. If you choose to claim without a solicitor, you'll deal directly with the responsible party's insurance company. This process typically involves: Reporting the accident to the insurer: You'll need to notify the insurer of the accident, providing details about when and where it occurred, and how it happened ...
However, you may file a New York personal injury lawsuit or auto liability insurance claim against the at-fault driver if your basic economic loss exceeds $50,000 or if you sustained a “serious injury.” Under New York law, a serious injury is defined as one that results in: Death.
