Settlement Multipliers for Chemical Inhalation Injury
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 | $3,000 - $10,000 | $10,980 - $32,240 |
| Moderate | 2x - 3x | $10,000 - $50,000 | $43,040 - $198,960 |
| Severe | 3x - 5x | $50,000 - $200,000 | $236,400 - $1,204,000 |
Formula: Total Settlement = (Medical Bills + Lost Wages) x Severity Multiplier. Use our calculator for a personalized estimate.
