MyClaimWorth Editorial.

The editorial desk that researches, writes, checks, and corrects every page on MyClaimWorth, and signs each one off before it is published.

MyClaimWorth Editorial is the byline on every page of this site. It stands for the desk as a whole rather than for one person, because no page here is the work of a single writer: each one is researched against primary sources, drafted, checked against those sources a second time, and then signed off. The desk is responsible for the result, and corrections come back to it.

The site is published by Outline Technologies LLC, a Wyoming company at 30 N Gould St, Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States. The publisher pays for the research and hosting through display advertising and does not let advertisers see or influence pages before they go live.

The desk writes about one question: what a personal injury claim is realistically worth in a given place, and why. That means statutes, damages caps, fault rules, limitation periods, published guidelines such as the Judicial College Guidelines in England and Wales, and reported court decisions. It does not give legal advice, does not represent anyone, and does not take referral fees from law firms for editorial coverage.

How a page gets researched

Every page starts from the primary source, not from other websites. For a US state that means the state code section for the damages cap or the limitation period, the court decision that interpreted it, and where it exists, the state agency page that publishes current figures (for example the maximum weekly workers’ compensation benefit). For England and Wales it means the Judicial College Guidelines and the statutory instruments on legislation.gov.uk. For Ireland it means the Personal Injuries Guidelines published by the Judicial Council.

Secondary sources such as law firm blogs and news summaries are used only to find the primary source, never as the source itself. During the research for the September 2026 articles, search engine summaries gave the wrong figure three times (a Colorado government liability cap, the North Dakota caps, and a Texas notice period). Each was caught because the figure was checked against the statute text before publication, and that check is now a fixed step for every page.

How a page gets written and checked

Every statute section, case name, date and sourced figure in a draft is checked against the source before the page is published. A settlement range that no source sets is labelled as a MyClaimWorth estimate, never presented as sourced.

Pages are checked for readability on a phone and a desktop screen, for broken links, and for tables that do not fit small screens before they go live. Each page shows the date it was published and, where the facts were revised, the date of the last update.

Corrections

If you find a figure that is wrong or out of date, write to [email protected] or use the contact form and choose “Editorial correction”. Say which page and which figure, and if you can, link the source that shows the correct number. The desk checks the claim against the primary source and, if it is right, corrects every page that carries the same figure, not just the one you reported.

Corrections that change a figure are listed on the law changes page where they reflect a change in the law, and the updated date on the page moves forward. Past examples include the move of Florida and Louisiana from pure comparative fault to a 51% bar, the April 2026 18th edition of the Judicial College Guidelines, and the May 2025 uprating of the UK whiplash tariff.

What the desk will not do

The desk will not present an estimate as a sourced figure, invent or paraphrase a case that cannot be found, present a range as a quote for anyone’s own claim, or accept payment to change what a page says. It will not publish guest posts written to promote a firm. Advertising on the site is placed by Google and the desk has no say in which ads appear.

Nothing on the site is legal advice. The pages explain how claims are valued so readers can have a better informed conversation with a lawyer, an insurer, or a claims body. For advice on a specific claim, speak to a solicitor or attorney licensed where the injury happened.
