Settlement Multipliers for Burns (Thermal / Chemical)
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 | 2x - 3x | $5,000 - $15,000 | $15,760 - $57,240 |
| Moderate | 3x - 4.5x | $15,000 - $75,000 | $79,560 - $410,940 |
| Severe | 4.5x - 7x | $75,000 - $500,000 | $505,980 - $3,871,280 |
