Dog Bite Compensation Calculator | Economic + Illustrative Model

Critical: This is not legal advice, not a prediction of a verdict or insurance payout, and not a substitute for a licensed attorney in your state. Dog bite compensation depends on liability rules, insurance limits, comparative fault, medical proof, scarring, lost earning capacity, and jury climate—none of which a browser form can see. The widget below is a transparent arithmetic sandbox so you can understand how economic damages and an illustrative non-economic factor combine—then talk to counsel.

Summary: Enter documented economic losses (medical bills to date, reasonable future care estimate, lost wages, minor property damage). Add an illustrative general-damages multiplier (0–3× economic) that does not represent any specific state rule—only a teaching slider. Optional policy limit shows a second headline if a soft ceiling is useful for planning conversations with your lawyer.
