The multiplier method is widely used to evaluate pain and suffering. It involves adding up your economic damages and multiplying them by a variable. They usually range from 1.5 to 5, and the highest variables are assigned to the most severe cases. It's not easy to attribute a dollar amount to general damages. However, there are a number of approaches that insurance adjusters take when calculating pain and suffering as part of an injury settlement.
The two most common are the multiplier method and the diet method (daily rate). Try the calculator below to compare both methods.
