Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate damages and liability:
Total Estimated Damages = (Vehicle Value × Damage Factor) + Medical Expenses - Insurance Coverage
Where:
- Damage Factor is determined by the type of accident (minor: 0.1, moderate: 0.3, severe: 0.5)
- Insurance Coverage is based on your selected coverage level (basic: $1,000, standard: $5,000, premium: $10,000)
This formula provides a simplified estimate of your potential damages and liability. For a more accurate assessment, consult with an insurance professional or legal advisor.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works:
Suppose you have a vehicle valued at $20,000, you were in a moderate accident, expect $2,000 in medical expenses, and have standard insurance coverage ($5,000).
Using the formula:
Total Estimated Damages = ($20,000 × 0.3) + $2,000 - $5,000
= $6,000 + $2,000 - $5,000
= $3,000
In this example, the calculator estimates your total damages and liability to be $3,000.
