Multiplier Method for Calculating Pain and Suffering Damages The multiplier method bases the value of non-economic damages on a multiple of the total value of economic damages. A number between 1.5 and five is multiplied by the value of economic damages to calculate the value of pain and suffering damages.
How Does Arizona Law Define Pain and Suffering? Arizona law includes bodily harm and emotional or mental distress among the types of bodily injury for which a person may recover compensation through a personal injury claim. The law also distinguishes between economic and non-economic losses.
A $100,000 settlement for serious car accident injuries, for example, could mean a $33,333 payment to the lawyer and a $66,667 payment (minus costs) for the plaintiff.
Personal injury compensation is calculated based on economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover tangible costs such as medical expenses, lost wages, and medical treatment. Non-economic damages compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
The average settlement amount for Arizona personal injuries typically ranges from roughly $5,000 to $80,000, though insurance companies often settle in the $100,000 plus range, and many of our clients have received much more.

The average personal injury settlement amount is approximately $55,056.08, which is based on data from over 5,861 cases that were settled between 2021 and 2024.
The length of time a case takes to settle a personal injury claim can vary significantly, simple cases where liability is admitted can be settled in around 12 months or so. Large, more complex, high-value cases can take longer to settle.
However, if your hours are not fixed or you sometimes work overtime, calculating loss of earnings can be trickier. Therefore, rather than basing your claim on your hourly rate or your annual salary, loss of earnings is usually calculated by taking an average of your earnings for the three months before your accident.
Arizona pain and suffering multiplier Insurance companies and attorneys often calculate pain and suffering by using a multiplier between 1 and 5 (the more severe the injury, the higher the multiplier). This means that pain and suffering is calculated over and above medical expenses at that rate.
