How the Calculator Works
Here’s a step-by-step overview of the inputs and how they shape your estimated payout.
1. Your Fault Percentage
In Oklahoma, if you’re 50% or more at fault, you get nothing. The calculator blocks recovery if your fault is 50% or higher.
If you’re under that bar, your payout is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: If your damages total $100,000 but you’re 20% at fault, you may only get $80,000.
2. Medical Expenses
Include past and future medical bills related to your injury:
- ER visits
- Surgery
- Therapy
- Medications
These are part of your economic damages—hard costs that can be documented.
3. Lost Wages
Enter the income you’ve lost (or expect to lose) from time off work or inability to return to your job.
4. Property Damage
Did your car or other property get damaged in the incident? That counts too.
5. Injury Severity Multiplier
This input captures your non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and emotional trauma. You choose the severity that best describes your injury:
| Severity Level | Example Injuries | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | Cuts, bruises | 1.5× |
| Moderate | Broken bones | 3.0× |
| Severe | PTSD, nerve damage, organ failure | 4.5× |
The more severe the injury, the higher the multiplier used on your medical + wage losses.
6. At-Fault Party’s Policy Limit (Optional)
Insurance policies often cap payouts. If the at-fault person’s policy is, say, $100,000—your payout can’t exceed that limit, even if your damages are higher.
The calculator automatically applies this cap if entered.
7. Attorney’s Fees
You can choose from:
- 33.3% if you settle before litigation
- 40% if your case goes to court
- 0% if you handle it yourself (not recommended in most serious cases)
This amount is deducted from your final settlement.
8. Case Costs & Liens
Add any other costs you’re expected to repay—like medical liens or out-of-pocket expenses.

Oklahoma’s Modified Comparative Fault Rule: Why It Matters
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative fault rule with a 50% bar. That means:
- If you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages.
- If you’re 50% or more at fault, you get nothing.
The calculator factors this rule in automatically—no guesswork needed.
Disclaimer: Use It Smartly
This calculator is an estimate tool, not legal advice.
Always consult a licensed Oklahoma personal injury attorney for a real case evaluation.
Even the best calculator can’t account for:
- Witness credibility
- Insurance negotiation tactics
- Jury perception
- Ongoing medical needs
Why Use a Settlement Calculator?
Here’s why this tool is worth your time:
- Know where you stand before you talk to insurers or attorneys.
- Save time understanding how your damages are valued.
- Avoid unrealistic expectations or lowball offers.
Think of it as a financial reality check before diving into negotiations.
