HOW TO CALCULATE PAIN AND SUFFERING, 2013

 THE MARTINEZ  FORMULA I, II

THE MARTINEZ FORMULA

IS AN UNIVERSAL FORMULA FOR ALL ATTORNEYS, COURTS,  INSURANCE COMPANIES,

ADJUSTERS, ACTUARIES AND UNDERWRITERS TO USE WHEN CALCULATING PAIN/ SUFFERING

                                                                             PERMANENT PAIN/ SUFFERING

                            Formula I                                                              MALE

                            Age - life expectancy X 365 ) = remaining  days of life expectancy X dollar amount =  pain and suffering 

                            Example:  30 - 80 LE = 50 yrs. X 365 = 18,250 days life expectancy  X $__________  = pain/ suffering 

                                                                                                                                         *you set the amount per day*

                                                                                             PAIN/ SUFFERING FULLY RECOVERED

                                      Formula II                                                          MALE

                            Date of injury minus date of recovery =  total number of calendar days  X dollar amount = pain/suffering

                            Example:   01/20/2011  minus 03/20/2012 = 425 calendar days   X  $_________= pain/suffering   

                            If pain medication allows the person to perform daily essential life activities, then, the amount per day is reduced.  

                            Example:  Pain medication for a broken leg reduces the pain, but does not permit the person to walk .

                                             Therefore, no reduction in the amount per day.

                                        *** Note in  formula II,  age is not a factor  since pain does not favor a person's age.

                                               Formula I, II    PAIN means "hurt"  SUFFERING  means "the inability to perform

                                                              daily  essential life activities due to the impedance of pain".  Defined  by [Dan Martinez]

                                                     *** Pain/Suffering has nothing to do with calculating the loss of enjoyment of life  or employment . That  is a  different formula.
