Shoulder Injury Settlement Calculator
Shoulder claims range from a strain to a torn rotator cuff or labrum needing arthroscopic surgery and months of rehab. Get an honest estimate range, with the method shown, before you talk to anyone.
How this range is built
What affects a shoulder injury settlement
Shoulder injuries such as rotator-cuff and labral tears commonly require arthroscopic surgery and long rehabilitation, with lasting loss of strength and range of motion. Surgical shoulder injuries support a multiplier toward the higher end of the range.
- Rotator-cuff or labral tear confirmed on MRI
- Arthroscopic surgery and extended physical therapy
- Permanent loss of strength or overhead range of motion
- Effect on physically demanding jobs
The multiplier method, shown in full.
No proprietary score, no hidden inputs. It is the same approach insurers and attorneys use to value general-damages claims, so you can check our math.
Read the full methodologyMedical bills (to date and expected) plus lost wages, your documented "specials."
Pain & suffering = medical bills × 1.5–5, depending on how serious and lasting the injury is.
Economic damages + pain & suffering gives a low-to-high settlement range.
If you were partly responsible, the range drops by that percentage (comparative negligence).
Common questions
Is a torn rotator cuff a high-value injury?
It can be. A surgically repaired rotator cuff carries significant medical bills and a long recovery, and often leaves permanent limitations, all of which support a higher multiplier.
