A structured, methodology-based estimate of what your claim may be worth — walking through the same factors an adjuster or attorney would consider.
Before You Continue
By submitting information through Case Value Assessment, you understand that MALP reviews estimate requests and may, at its discretion, follow up with you or refer your case to a licensed attorney if it appears to be a good fit. Not every submission results in contact — we do not follow up on every case. We will not sell your information to third parties or unrelated marketing lists. If you're already represented by an attorney, let us know — we won't contact you about a referral in that case. Your zip code is used only to identify your jurisdiction and, where applicable, local venue factors. It is not stored or shared beyond what's needed to generate your estimate.
This estimate is based entirely on the information you provide. Inaccurate, incomplete, or optimistic answers will produce an inaccurate estimate — the tool has no way to independently verify what you enter.

Case Basics
Let's start with where, when, and what kind of incident this was.
Used only to identify your state and, where applicable, local venue factors.
Auto Accident
Motorcycle
Truck Accident
Slip & Fall
Dog Bite
Workers' Comp
Workplace Injury (3rd Party)
Other
Workers' compensation claims are valued differently — there's no pain-and-suffering multiplier, since the tradeoff for no-fault coverage is that you generally can't sue your employer for non-economic damages. We'll walk you through the right framework for this type of claim instead of the standard estimate below.

Representation, Treatment & Injury
This doesn't affect your estimate — it just helps us route things correctly.
No, I don't have an attorney
I'm still deciding whether to hire one
Yes, but I'm looking for a different one
Yes, and I'm satisfied with my current attorney
If you switch attorneys, your current attorney may be entitled to fees or costs already incurred on your case — worth discussing directly with them as part of any transition.
Still Receiving Treatment
Treatment Completed
Haven't Started Treatment
Same day / within 24 hours
Within 72 hours
Within a week
More than a week later
A gap between the accident and your first treatment gives insurers room to argue your injury wasn't serious.
Whiplash / neck strain
Back injury / soft tissue
Cuts, bruises, or lacerations
Headaches
Back or neck pain with disc involvement
Broken bones / fractures
Anxiety / emotional distress
Head or brain injury
Spinal cord injury / paralysis
Loss of a limb
Loss of life
Other / not listed
Select every injury that applies — many cases involve more than one (e.g. back and neck together). Your most significant injury sets the realistic ceiling for the estimate; the others add supporting weight rather than stacking multiple ranges together.
Wrongful death claims are valued under a separate framework — this calculator's standard estimate doesn't apply. We strongly recommend speaking with an attorney directly.
5 — Moderate
How this injury has affected your day-to-day life and physical discomfort. This fine-tunes where you land within your injury type's typical range — it doesn't override it.
Temporary Total (TTD)
Temporary Partial (TPD)
Permanent Partial (PPD)
Permanent Total (PTD)

PPD and PTD mean you expect this to become a permanent condition — this is a forward-looking prediction, not just your current status.

4 weeks
If you've returned to work, enter total weeks you were out. If not, estimate your total expected time out — not just what's happened so far.

Optional, but helpful context — a large repair number means something different for a total loss versus a high-end vehicle.

Property damage is usually settled separately from your injury claim and often resolves faster — this estimate includes it for a complete picture, but it's typically not something you'll need an attorney for.

Workers' Compensation Claims Work Differently
This is a no-fault statutory system with fixed benefit schedules — medical costs, a percentage of your wages, and scheduled awards for permanent impairment. There is no pain-and-suffering multiplier. Your disability classification () is one of the key factors that determines your benefit schedule. We recommend a direct conversation to walk through what you may be entitled to.
Wrongful Death Claims Require Individual Attention
These claims are valued under a distinct legal framework that this calculator's standard multiplier doesn't capture. We strongly recommend speaking directly with an attorney.
Estimated Case Value Range
$0 — $0
Based on the multiplier method
Your actual settlement may be higher or lower than this estimate.
Case Strength Factors
This is a structured starting point, not a final number. It can't capture the strength of your specific evidence, how a particular insurer handles claims like yours, or facts unique to your situation.
