How does our compensation payout calculator work?
It’s natural to be curious about the estimated total compensation you may receive when pursuing a personal injury claim. That’s why we created our compensation calculator, so you could have a better idea of what you could be entitled to. To find out your estimated compensation payout, simply follow these steps:
- Briefly describe how you were injured
- Select the compensation claim service the incident applies to (for example, motor vehicle accidents for motorcycle injuries)
- Select the type of physical injuries sustained
- Enter your estimated economic loss amount
- Select the amount of hours you have required care and assistance weekly
- Enter the amount of reimbursements you require (including medical expenses aids, unpaid care costs, estimated future income losses)
The calculator also considers elements like pain and suffering, with estimates calculated based on medical evidence and injury severity. While no two experiences are alike, our system helps you understand how to claim pain and suffering as part of your total entitlements – and how professionals go about calculating pain and suffering under personal injury law.
You’re welcome at any time to have a more personalised free claim assessment with our lawyers.

What does personal injury compensation cover?
Your personal injury payout is designed to cover any:
- Ongoing medical costs
- Rehabilitation costs
- Past and future economic loss
- Any pain and suffering experienced
- Any out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident
Your payout may also include pain and suffering compensation to account for the physical and emotional distress caused by the injury. This is particularly relevant in cases involving ongoing pain, chronic pain, or psychological injury, where the effects on your life are long-lasting.
At The Personal Injury Lawyers, we work hard to ensure you receive the highest amount possible so that you can focus on getting your life back on track with less financial worry and pressure.
How is a compensation payment determined?
These payouts are calculated based on multiple factors, including your injury scale value, the severity of the physical injury, and the overall impact on your daily life. The court may refer to the Civil Liability Act, case law and other guidelines when awarding non-economic loss compensation in Queensland.
The courts will determine your final compensation amount based on the following factors:
- The details of your accident
- The extent of your injuries sustained from the accident
- The state of your employment before the accident and after
- The impact on your quality of life and work as a result of the accident
These assessments determine your final compensation and may include a lump sum payout for pain and suffering damages, lost wages, medical expenses, and other forms of financial compensation. Each accident compensation claim payout reflects the unique circumstances of the person and the injuries caused.
Use our personal injury compensation calculator to first determine whether you are eligible to make a claim. From there, our personal injury lawyers will get in contact with you to give you a transparent consultation on what you can expect to achieve from pursuing your claim.

Every case is different as injuries affect people in different ways, and there are so many varying occupations, earning capacities and opportunities for advancement and increased wages etc.
Some injuries may not impact on a person’s employment as much as another’s, whereas, some injuries, although considered minor injuries, may impact more on an occupation that one would think would be the least impacted.
The circumstances of each claimant has to be looked at very carefully when assessing past and future economic loss – which we can do for you, and there is no cost to assess your claim.
