Worked example
- Medical bills
- 15000
- Lost income
- 5000
- Injury severity

Understanding the result
Premises liability settlement range. Start with the base example, then replace each value with the figure that matches your situation.
Medical bills
The example uses 15000 for medical bills. This is an illustration, not a recommended value. Keep the unit and time period shown by the field.
Lost income
The example uses 5000 for lost income. This is an illustration, not a recommended value. Keep the unit and time period shown by the field.
Injury severity
The example uses Moderate (fracture) for injury severity. This is an illustration, not a recommended value. Keep the unit and time period shown by the field.
Your share of fault
The example uses 10 % for your share of fault. This is an illustration, not a recommended value. Keep the unit and time period shown by the field.
What the comparison means
The comparison changes only medical bills, keeping every other example input fixed. This isolates that input's effect on the primary result. It does not predict future outcomes.
This estimate is not a settlement offer. Evidence, jurisdiction, policy limits and legal advice determine the actual outcome.
