Disclaimer. This calculator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, does not create an attorney–client relationship, and provides no guarantee or prediction of outcome. Actual case value depends on liability, available evidence, the nature and extent of injuries, the medical treatment received, applicable insurance coverage, medical and other liens, statutory caps where applicable, and the inherent risks of litigation. Estimates are simplified ranges and do not substitute for an evaluation by a licensed California attorney. California applies pure comparative negligence; insurance policy limits frequently cap practical recovery. Under Proposition 213 / Cal. Civ. Code §3333.4, certain uninsured drivers and DUI-convicted drivers may be barred from recovering non-economic damages; economic damages may still be recoverable, and exceptions apply.
