Settlement Multipliers for Asbestos / Mesothelioma
Insurance adjusters use the multiplier method to calculate settlements. Your medical bills and lost wages are multiplied by a severity factor:
| Severity | Multiplier | Medical Costs | Settlement Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild | 1.5x - 2x | $0 - $0 | $6,480 - $12,240 |
| Moderate | 2x - 3x | $0 - $0 | $23,040 - $48,960 |
| Severe | 3x - 5x | $150,000 - $500,000 | $536,400 - $2,704,000 |
Formula: Total Settlement = (Medical Bills + Lost Wages) x Severity Multiplier. Use our calculator for a personalized estimate.
