Economic damages combine medical bills, future medical, lost wages, and property damage. Pain and suffering is estimated as a multiple of medical plus future medical. The gross total is reduced by your comparative fault percentage to show an illustrative net recovery, with a low–high band for negotiation.
Economic = medical + future medical + wages + propertyP&S ≈ multiplier × (medical + future medical)Gross = economic + P&SNet = gross × (100% − your fault %)Pure comparative fault states reduce recovery proportionally; a few jurisdictions use modified comparative rules not modeled here.
