Accident Injury Claim Calculator

People searching for accident lawyers don't know what their claim is worth. Build a simple tool that estimates personal injury settlement ranges based on injury type, medical bills, lost wages, and location. Monetize through affiliate links to law firms or premium features for detailed reports.

Personal injury search traffic is dominated by law firm SEO spending — some of the highest CPCs in Google Ads — which means the audience is real, motivated, and already being monetized aggressively by lawyers paying $50–300 per lead. No clear incumbent owns the calculator niche specifically; most law firm sites have crude, low-quality estimators that exist only to capture form submissions. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is conservative and believable if affiliate payouts from legal lead gen networks (Martindale, FindLaw, etc.) are the primary channel, though scaling past that requires either significant SEO investment or a direct relationship with law firms paying flat referral fees. The biggest risk is that law firms, the only realistic paying customer, are notoriously slow to adopt third-party tools and may view an accurate public calculator as a liability — one that anchors client expectations before a consultation even happens.
