Car Insurance Information and Facts:
How do insurance
companies decide how much they'll pay to compensate someone for a RI car
accident injury?
In calculating
the range of compensation, a claims adjuster begins with the medical expenses.
Then the intangibles pain and other noneconomic losses are added in by
multiplying the medical expenses by 1.5 to 2 times if the injuries are
relatively minor, and up to 5 times if the injuries are more significant.
The multiplier can go still higher sometimes as much as 10 times medical
expenses if the injuries are particularly painful and happen in RI, serious
or longlasting. Finally, lost income is added to that amount.
