Overview

CaseMark's Damages Calculator transforms raw medical bills, wage records, and case documents into a comprehensive, auditable personal injury damages model. It separates special and general damages, applies multiple valuation methodologies, and accounts for liens, comparative fault, and statutory caps—all with every figure traced back to its source document.

Building a defensible personal injury damages calculation requires painstaking manual work: extracting line items from dozens of medical bills and EOBs, reconciling billed vs. paid amounts, tracking liens, calculating wage loss, and applying general damages methodologies. A single missed bill or miscalculated lien can undermine an entire demand package or leave money on the table at mediation.

CaseMark automates the entire damages calculation workflow, extracting and categorizing every expense from your uploaded documents with full source tracing. It produces a structured, auditable model that carries billed and paid columns, applies both multiplier and per diem general damages methods, accounts for liens and comparative fault, and generates a polished demand-ready summary—turning days of work into minutes.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload medical bills, EOBs, wage records, and incident documentation

  2. 2. AI extracts and categorizes every line item with source tracing and causation notes

  3. 3. Review the structured damages model with billed/paid columns, general damages methodologies, and adjustments

  4. 4. Export the auditable damages calculation as DOCX or PDF for demand letters or mediation

Questions

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

CaseMark carries both billed and paid columns throughout the entire damages model, reconciling amounts against EOBs and adjustment records. This ensures you have full transparency for collateral source arguments regardless of your jurisdiction's approach.

What general damages methodologies does it support?

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

Can it account for liens, Medicare, and ERISA subrogation?

Yes. CaseMark identifies and tracks all lien obligations including Medicare, Medicaid, ERISA, and private insurer liens. It integrates lien amounts into the net-to-client calculation and flags any that require attorney verification.

How does comparative fault get applied?

CaseMark applies comparative fault percentages as a transparent adjustment layer on top of the total damages calculation. If fault allocation is uncertain, it flags the item for attorney resolution rather than making assumptions.

Is the output suitable for inclusion in a demand letter or mediation brief?

Absolutely. CaseMark produces a polished, auditable damages summary with source-traced line items that can be directly incorporated into demand packages, mediation statements, or settlement brochures.

Does it handle future medical expenses and present value calculations?

Yes. CaseMark integrates life care plans and surgeon recommendations to project future care costs, then applies present value discounting to produce defensible future damages figures.
