Estimate a potential legal settlement value and net client amount from economic damages, multipliers, punitive damages, fees, and expenses.
Formula
const economicDamages = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.economicDamages || 0)); const multiplier = Math.max(0, Number.parseFloat(inputs.painAndSufferingMultiplier || 0)); const punitiveDamages = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.punitiveDamages || 0)); const feeRate = Math.max(0, Math.min(100, Number.parseFloat(inputs.attorneyFeesPercentage || 0))) / 100; const caseExpenses = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.caseExpenses || 0)); const totalAward = economicDamages + economicDamages * multiplier + punitiveDamages; const attorneyFees = totalAward * feeRate; const netToClient = Math.max(0, totalAward - attorneyFees - caseExpenses); return { estimatedSettlementValue: Math.round(totalAward * 100) / 100, netToClient: Math.round(netToClient * 100) / 100 };Total Economic Damages (Medical Bills, Lost Wages)
