Whiplash Settlement Calculator
Whiplash is typically soft-tissue, painful but usually resolving, so it tends to anchor the lower multiplier unless symptoms persist. Get an honest estimate range, with the method shown, before you talk to anyone.
How this range is built
What affects a whiplash settlement
Whiplash (a soft-tissue neck strain from rapid back-and-forth motion) is the classic rear-end collision injury. Because it usually resolves and rests on subjective symptoms, it tends to anchor the lower-to-middle of the multiplier range, higher if symptoms persist for months or imaging reveals structural damage.
- How long symptoms persist (weeks vs. many months)
- Consistent, documented treatment with no large gaps
- Whether imaging later reveals a structural injury
- Pre-existing neck conditions
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
What is the average whiplash settlement?
Most whiplash claims are modest because the injury usually resolves, but persistent or imaging-confirmed cases can be worth substantially more. We show a range from your own bills rather than a single figure that would mislead.
