Get an instant settlement estimate based on your injury type, medical expenses, and state laws. Our free calculator analyzes thousands of real case outcomes to give you a realistic range — then connects you with a local attorney for a free consultation.
How It Works
Because a concussion and a severe penetrating brain injury sit worlds apart in value,
our calculator weighs the medical severity, lifetime care needs, and lost earning capacity that
make traumatic brain injury claims uniquely complex.
Tell us what type of TBI occurred — mild concussion, moderate, severe, or penetrating — and how it
happened, whether a motorcycle crash,
a slip and fall, or a workplace incident.
We also ask about current symptoms like memory loss, headaches, or personality changes.
Unlike a broken bone, a brain injury can follow someone for decades. The calculator factors in
rehabilitation, neurological and cognitive effects, future medical care, and reduced earning capacity
across the years ahead — the costs insurers most often overlook.
You receive a data-informed settlement range built around your injury’s severity and your state’s laws.
From there, we can connect you with a brain injury attorney for a free, no-obligation review of what
your specific case may be worth.
Why Choose Us
Brain injury claims are not ordinary personal injury claims — they hinge on invisible
symptoms, lifelong costs, and medical evidence most calculators never account for. This one is built
only for TBI.
TBI settlements span an enormous range — from modest amounts for a mild concussion to $1M–$10M+ for
severe or catastrophic injuries. We model that full spectrum instead of treating every injury the same.
TBI is called the silent epidemic because memory loss, mood changes, and cognitive deficits rarely show
on an X-ray. Our model reflects how these symptoms — and the neuropsychological evidence that proves
them — affect claim value.
Some states cap non-economic damages and every state sets its own statute of limitations for filing.
We adjust estimates for your state so the range reflects the law where your injury happened — not a
generic national average.
An estimated 5.3 million Americans live with a long-term TBI-related disability. We project ongoing
therapy, in-home support, and lost earning capacity over a lifetime — not just today’s hospital bill.
Roughly 75% of TBIs are classified as mild, yet even a “mild” concussion can leave lasting effects.
Estimates scale with clinical severity — mild, moderate, severe, and penetrating — so the range fits
the real injury.
Whether the injury came from a workplace accident
or a crash, we link you with attorneys who handle catastrophic-injury cases on contingency — meaning
you pay nothing unless they win.
