What Settlebrook Is
Settlebrook is a free set of settlement estimate tools for people with injury claims in the United States. Three calculators cover the most common claim types: pain and suffering, car accident settlements, and workers compensation. Each one runs transparent, published formulas in your browser, in about two minutes. There is no signup and no paywall. Your calculator inputs are never transmitted anywhere — all figures stay in your browser. The site itself runs on Google Analytics and Google AdSense, and our contact form is processed by Formspree; see our privacy policy for details.
Why It Exists
Search for what your claim is worth and most of what you find is law firm marketing. Those pages rank because someone paid to rank them, and the calculator at the bottom is usually a form that collects your phone number to sell as a lead. You are often injured, stressed, and already being pressured by an adjuster when you go looking. Settlebrook gives you the formula and the state rules directly instead, and asks for nothing in return.
How We Keep It Accurate
Statutory figures — benefit caps, damage caps, filing deadlines, fault rules — are checked against state statutes, state workers compensation agencies, and published decisions rather than copied from other websites. State pages carry a visible last-reviewed date and are re-checked on a rolling basis as legislatures change the numbers. The formulas, the sources, and the review schedule are written out in full in our methodology.
What Settlebrook Is Not
Settlebrook is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We do not evaluate individual cases, and we do not sell leads or refer users to attorneys for a fee. What the calculators produce is an informed estimate, not a prediction — real settlements turn on evidence, policy limits, venue, and negotiation. If you have an active claim, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
Important Accuracy Disclaimer
Settlebrook calculators produce estimates based on general industry formulas and publicly documented settlement benchmarks. They are educational tools only. No output from any Settlebrook tool should be interpreted as a prediction of what you will receive, a guarantee of any settlement amount, or a substitute for consultation with a licensed personal injury attorney in your state.
Settlement values are highly fact-specific. Comparative negligence determinations, available insurance policy limits, pre-existing conditions, jurisdiction-specific damage caps, evidentiary quality, and opposing counsel skill can each significantly alter actual outcomes — in either direction.
Use our tools to educate yourself and establish a reasonable baseline. Then consult a qualified attorney before making any decision about your claim. Many personal injury attorneys offer free initial consultations.
