How This Estimate Is Calculated
Here's the math: New Hampshire's benefit rate and cap, combined with how Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) claims typically resolve.
New Hampshire pays 60% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $1847/week. For a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) claim, the typical temporary disability period is 20 weeks, with settlement multipliers ranging 2.0x–6.0x. See the full methodology for where this range comes from and what it doesn't include.
Here's the actual math: on a $1,000 average weekly wage, New Hampshire's formula puts your weekly benefit at $600. Over the typical 20-week recovery window for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), that's $12,000 in wage-replacement before any settlement multiplier is applied. Multiplying that by this injury's typical 2.0x–6.0x range is what produces the $24,000–$72,000 estimate above. Your own number will differ based on your real wage — use the calculator on the homepage to plug in your actual figure.
What This Estimate Doesn't Account For
This is a starting range, not a final number. It doesn't account for your specific impairment rating, whether the insurer disputes the claim, or future medical costs tied to the injury.
Because surgery is a likely part of treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), whether it's actually needed in your case is one of the biggest single factors in where your real settlement lands relative to this range.
