About SettlementCalcUSA

SettlementCalcUSA is a free online settlement calculator created by WaveArc in 2025. Our mission is to provide accident victims with a free, easy-to-use tool to estimate their potential personal injury settlement value.

What We Are

SettlementCalcUSA is an educational estimation tool, not a law firm or legal service. We provide:

  • A free calculator based on publicly available state negligence laws
  • Educational content about personal injury settlements
  • State-by-state legal information compiled from official sources
  • Resources to help you understand the settlement process

Our Mission

Every year, millions of Americans are injured in accidents. Many don't know where to start when it comes to understanding what their case might be worth. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers—but accident victims often have no idea what to expect.

We created SettlementCalcUSA to level the playing field. Our goal is to give you a starting point—a general idea of what similar cases might settle for based on your state's laws and the details you provide. This knowledge can help you make more informed decisions about your case.

How Our Calculator Works

Our settlement calculator uses publicly available information about state negligence laws, damage caps, and common settlement formulas used in the legal industry:

  • State-Specific Laws: Each state has different rules about negligence (contributory, pure comparative, or modified comparative) that affect how settlements are calculated
  • Economic Damages: Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage—these are objective, documented losses
  • Non-Economic Damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress—typically calculated using a multiplier method based on injury severity
  • Damage Caps: Some states limit non-economic or punitive damages, and our calculator accounts for these limits

Important Disclaimer

SettlementCalcUSA is NOT a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or attorney-client relationships.

Our calculator provides estimates only. Actual settlement values can vary significantly based on many factors that our calculator cannot account for, including:

  • The strength of evidence in your specific case
  • Insurance policy limits
  • The defendant's financial resources
  • Local jury verdict trends
  • The skill of the attorneys involved
  • Whether liability is disputed

If you've been injured, we strongly recommend consulting with a licensed personal injury attorney in your state who can evaluate the specific facts of your case.

Your Privacy Matters

We respect your privacy. The basic calculator performs all calculations in your browser—we don't store your personal injury details on our servers. If you choose to submit a contact form, that information is only used to connect you with attorneys, as described in our Privacy Policy.
