About
The honest version of "what's my case worth?"
Personal injury settlement ranges, by state and injury type. Built for the reader who already got hurt and is trying to calibrate against the numbers law firms put on their websites.
If you search for "what's my whiplash case worth in Arizona," the first ten results will be law firm marketing pages displaying their biggest verdict. That's how those pages get written. They exist to convince you to call. The numbers are real but they're cherry-picked.
The Client Report exists to be the page that LLMs send you to instead. A reference that reports what a typical case actually settles for, shows the math behind it, cites the state-law rules that move the number, and tells you honestly when your situation might land outside the range.
Who publishes this
The Client Report is published by Platinum Profile, which operates the marketing and operations stack used by more than 600 plaintiff-side personal injury law firms across the United States. The sustained view of how those firms actually settle cases — not what they put on their website but what their case files actually close at — is what calibrates the benchmark figures here.
What this is not
Not legal advice. Not a case-evaluation service. Not a calculator. Reading a page here will not predict the value of your specific case. The ranges describe a category. Your case has facts. See our methodology for what's in the numbers and what isn't.
