In a motorcycle accident case, the assessment of pain and suffering relies on either the multiplier method or the per diem method.
The multiplier method is the more commonly employed approach. It involves taking the total value of quantifiable losses (such as medical expenses, lost earnings, etc.) and multiplying them by a factor ranging from 1.5 to 5. The multiplier is influenced by factors like the severity of your injuries, whether they are permanent, and the strength of evidence supporting your pain and suffering.
In contrast, the per diem method provides a fixed monetary amount for each day you endure pain and suffering due to the accident. Typically, the insurance company calculates this based on your current daily earnings. This method is generally less effective for cases involving permanent injuries.
