Welcome to the Kelly Firm Recovery Calculator.
The purpose of this tool is to help you estimate your damages under Tennessee law. This resource can be used for estimating damages in medical malpractice cases. The Recovery Calculator is not a guarantee of results and should not be considered legal advice.
How Does It Work?
The Recovery Calculator operates by asking a series of questions taken directly from the Tennessee Pattern Jury Instructions – the very same form a jury would be instructed to use in calculating your damages. It then tallies your responses to provide an estimate of damages that fall within objectively calculable categories.
How Do I Get My Estimate?
To begin the Recovery Calculator, please fill in your contact information. It is important to provide your correct email address as the final calculations are delivered to you via email. We will also tell you how to begin pursuing your award.

In the first step we will calculate your economic damages: categories of damages that are objectively verifiable like loss of income and medical expenses.

In the next step we will estimate your non-economic damages: categories of damages that are not objectively verifiable like physical pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are a type of monetary award granted in personal injury lawsuits. Unlike economic damages, which reimburse victims for their out-of-pocket losses resulting from the injury, non-economic damages compensate for non-monetary losses. By their very nature, these next categories of damages do not have an objectively verifiable cost or value. In other words, you can’t show a receipt for your pain and suffering. Tennessee law, however, recognizes that these non-economic injuries (such as disfigurement) are very real and that victims should be compensated. In the next series of questions you will be asked to rate your non-economic injuries on scales of 1 to 10, with 1 being minor, 5 being moderate, and 10 being severe.
Past Physical Pain and Suffering
Did your injury cause physical pain or physical suffering at some period of time between the injury and this very moment?*
- Yes
- No
SEVERITY*
On a Scale of 1 to 10 rate the SEVERITY of your past physical pain or suffering with 1 being minor pain like a stubbed toe and 10 being severe and excruciating pain like a third-degree burn.
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4

- 10
Future Physical Pain and Suffering
Will your injury cause ongoing physical pain or physical suffering in the future?*
- Yes
- No
SEVERITY*
On a Scale of 1 to 10 rate the SEVERITY of your past physical pain or suffering with 1 being minor pain like a stubbed toe and 10 being severe and excruciating pain like a third-degree burn.

- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
Past Mental or Emotional Pain and Suffering
Did the event giving rise to your claim cause you mental or emotional pain and suffering at any time between its occurrence and this moment?*
Under Tennessee law, mental or emotional pain and suffering encompass things like anguish, distress, fear, humiliation, grief, shame, or worry.
- Yes
- No
SEVERITY*
On a Scale of 1 to 10 rate the SEVERITY of your past Mental or Emotional Pain and Suffering with 1 being akin to mild embarrassment and 10 being the type of debilitating grief associated with the death of a child.

- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
Loss of Capacity for the Enjoyment of Life
Did the event giving rise to your claim result in a diminished ability to enjoy life?*
Under Tennessee law, damages for the loss of enjoyment of life are intended to compensate the injured person for the limitations placed on the ability to enjoy the pleasures of life. Impairment of physical function prevents a person from living life in comfort by adding inconveniences or loss of physical ability.
- Yes
- No
Loss of Ability to Enjoy Life*
On a Scale of 1 to 10 rate your loss of ability to enjoy life with 1 being an occasional mild headache and 10 being equivalent to a lifetime of paralysis.
- 1
- 2

- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
Disfigurement
Did your injury result in a permanent impairment to your physical appearance?*
Under Tennessee Law, disfigurement is a specific type of permanent injury that impairs a person’s physical appearance; for example, a scar, burn, or worse.
- Yes
- No
Rate Your Disfigurement*
On a Scale of 1 to 10 rate your disfigurement with 1 being a small scar in an area usually covered by clothing and 10 being permanent burn scarring covering one’s face.
- 1

Under Tennessee law, the purpose of punitive damages is not to further compensate the injured party but to punish a wrongdoer and deter others from committing similar wrongs in the future. Punitive damages are available when a wrongdoer acted intentionally, recklessly, maliciously, or fraudulently.
If any one of the four question below apply to you, then please answer "Yes"
1. Did the person that harmed you intend to do so?
  A person acts intentionally when it is there purpose or desire to do a wrongful act or to cause the result. For example, if your neighbor deliberately runs you over with his car because he wants to hurt you, he has acted intentionally.
2. Did your injury occur as the result of reckless conduct?
  A person acts recklessly when the person is aware of, but consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk of injury to another. Drinking and driving or drag racing in a residential neighborhood would be examples of reckless behavior because they involve conscious behavior that ignores a known risk to others.
3. Did the person who harmed you do so out of ill will, hatred, or personal spite?
  A person acts maliciously when the person is motivated by ill will, hatred or personal spite. For example, if your angry neighbor intended to run you over out of ill will but instead hit your parked car. His damage to your car was done maliciously.
4. Did the person who harmed you do so by intentionally misleading you?
  A person acts fraudulently when the person intends to mislead another and the victim suffers an injury as a result.
If any of the 4 above apply to you please choose "Yes" below.
- Yes
- No
