Eye Injury Claim Calculator

The Eye Injury Claim Calculator estimates Final Estimated Compensation based on medical severity, financial losses, and legal multipliers. This calculator helps injured claimants and legal professionals assess potential settlement values. Whether you're documenting a minor eye irritation or a total vision loss event, this tool provides a structured financial projection for civil claims.

Classification of eye injury based on medical and legal assessment guidelines
Standard compensation benchmark for the selected injury severity
Total past and expected medical treatment costs
Cost of vision therapy, rehabilitation, counseling, or assistive training
Income lost due to inability to work during recovery
Estimated long-term loss of earning ability caused by eye injury
Legal multiplier used to estimate non-economic damages (1.0 - 5.0)
Percentage of fault attributed to claimant (if any)

How Final Estimated Compensation Is Calculated

The Final Estimated Compensation is determined by combining measurable financial losses with non-economic damages for pain and suffering, then adjusting for the claimant's level of fault. This calculation relies on the Multiplier Method, a common approach in personal injury law.

Final = (Econ + (Base × Multiplier)) × (1 - Negligence%)

Where:

  • Econ = Medical Expenses + Rehab + Lost Income + Future Loss
  • Base = Judicial benchmark for the injury severity
  • Multiplier = Factor for pain and suffering (1.0 to 5.0)
  • Negligence% = Percentage of fault attributed to the injured party

First, all economic losses like medical bills and lost wages are summed. Second, non-economic damages are calculated by multiplying the base compensation by the pain multiplier. These two figures form the Gross Claim. Finally, if the claimant was partially at fault, the total is reduced by that percentage.

What Your Final Estimated Compensation Means

This figure represents the projected settlement amount you might receive after accounting for all losses and legal adjustments. It serves as a financial baseline for negotiations or legal filings.

Pro Tip

If your Final Estimated Compensation is significantly lower than your total economic damages due to high contributory negligence, consult an attorney to explore arguments that reduce your assigned fault percentage.

For Minor Injuries with Low Fault: If your result is relatively low (e.g., under $50,000) but covers all medical bills, it may be a quick settlement offer. Ensure future pain is accounted for in the multiplier.

For Severe Injuries with Long-term Impact: High values (e.g., over $500,000) usually stem from significant Future Earning Capacity Loss or high multipliers for Total Vision Loss. These claims often require extensive documentation to justify the base amount and multiplier to insurers.

Important Note on Fault: Even severe injuries result in $0 compensation if negligence is 100%. If your calculation was heavily reduced by fault, legal strategy should focus on proving the other party's liability.
