Recovery Calculator

See what is left of a New York injury settlement after the lawyer’s fee, case costs and medical bills that have to be paid back.

Use the interactive calculator to estimate how a New York settlement is divided among the lawyer's fee, case costs, Medicare and other medical liens, and what you may take home. Change the case type, fee method and bills to explore your own figures.

How the estimate works

New York court rules cap injury-lawyer fees. Medical malpractice follows a separate schedule. Medicare may reduce its repayment demand for the fee and costs involved in obtaining a recovery. Actual lien amounts and fee agreements control the final breakdown.
