Overview

CaseMark's Damages Calculator transforms stacks of medical bills, EOBs, wage records, and case documents into a comprehensive, auditable personal injury damages model. It separates special and general damages, applies jurisdictional adjustments, and produces a settlement-ready demand summary—all with every figure traced to its source document.

Building a personal injury damages calculation manually requires painstaking extraction of figures from dozens of medical bills, EOBs, pay stubs, and lien statements—then organizing them into defensible categories, applying the right multiplier or per diem methodology, and accounting for liens, comparative fault, and caps. A single missed bill or miscalculation can undermine an entire demand package or leave money on the table for your client.

CaseMark's AI-powered Damages Calculator ingests your case documents and automatically builds a structured, auditable damages model with billed and paid columns, source-traced line items, and dual general damages methodologies. It applies comparative fault adjustments, accounts for every lien, and generates a net-to-client projection—giving you a complete, defensible damages section ready for your demand letter or mediation statement.

Questions

How does the calculator handle billed vs. paid medical expenses?

CaseMark carries both billed and paid columns for every medical expense line item, allowing you to present either figure depending on your jurisdiction's collateral source rules. Each amount is traced back to the specific bill or EOB for full auditability.

What methods does it use for general damages?

CaseMark calculates general damages using both the multiplier method and the per diem method, presenting them side by side. This gives you flexibility to choose the most persuasive approach for your demand letter or mediation statement.

Can it account for comparative fault and statutory caps?

Yes. CaseMark applies comparative fault percentages and flags applicable statutory caps based on your jurisdiction. Where rules require attorney verification, the system marks items with a [VERIFY] flag so nothing slips through.

How does it handle liens from Medicare, Medicaid, or ERISA plans?

CaseMark identifies and accounts for all liens in a dedicated lien accounting section, including Medicare, Medicaid, ERISA, and private insurer subrogation claims. These are factored into the net-to-client settlement model automatically.

Does it calculate future damages and present value?

Yes. When you provide a life care plan or surgeon recommendations, CaseMark calculates future medical costs and reduces them to present value. Future wage loss projections are also supported with vocational evidence integration.

Can I use the output directly in a demand letter or mediation brief?

Absolutely. CaseMark generates a polished final demand summary section that can be inserted directly into demand letters, mediation statements, or settlement brochures. Every figure is source-traced for credibility with adjusters and opposing counsel.
