How Are VCF Awards Actually Calculated?

This calculator applies the VCF's published non-economic loss framework to give you a rough, personalized range. It does not include economic loss (lost wages, medical expenses) or every offset the VCF applies. For the full breakdown of award tiers, deceased-claimant amounts, and what can reduce an award, see our VCF compensation guide.
