About

We decode how claims are valued

Injury victims negotiate against professionals who do this daily. We level the information gap.

How we research

Explainers are written in plain English by our editorial team from publicly available material: the valuation conventions insurers and attorneys openly describe, published consumer guidance from state insurance departments and courts, and the policy and claim documents readers hold themselves. We do not hold proprietary insurer files or a verdict database, and we say so rather than implying access we do not have. This is general information, not legal advice; every claim is fact-specific, so consult a licensed attorney in your state.

How we make money

At the time of writing this site carries no affiliate links and no advertising. No link earns a commission and no company pays for coverage. If that ever changes, the disclosure page will say so first and any paid link will be marked where it appears.

How our explainers are researched

Before an explainer goes live, it is built from publicly available material and checked for accuracy. We hold no proprietary insurer files and no verdict database. Every guide draws on three inputs.

The valuation conventions insurers describe openly
Published consumer guidance from state regulators
The policy and claim documents readers hold

Editorial standards

These are the rules every explainer on TortWise is held to.

Editor-reviewed

Our editor reviews legal explainers against our published editorial standards. We are not attorneys and this is not legal advice.

Illustrative, not legal advice

Every range is illustrative and fact-specific. It is a starting point, never a promise of an outcome.

Grounded in the math

We show the same multiplier method adjusters start from, so you can follow the number, not just trust it.

No affiliate links

This site carries no affiliate links and no advertising. No link earns a commission. It never changes how we explain the way claims work.
