What Is Your the U.S. PI Firm or Practice Worth? Valuation & Succession Planning
Wherever you practice, the economics of personal injury are the same: money moves from insurers through settlements into trust accounts, fees, liens, and finally provider and client hands — and the accounting has to keep up.
Sooner or later every PI firm owner and practice owner in the U.S. asks the same question: what is this thing I've built actually worth? The honest answer in this niche is: whatever your books can prove.
What buyers and successors actually pay for
- Firms: case inventory with credible expected fees, durable referral/marketing engines, and clean trust history. A messy IOLTA account is a due-diligence killer.
- Practices: a reduction-adjusted lien book valuation, diversified referral sources, and provider systems that survive the founder's exit.
- Both: three-plus years of clean, monthly-closed financials. Nothing raises value faster; nothing kills a deal faster than its absence.
The niche discount — and how to erase it
Buyers discount PI businesses for revenue lumpiness and key-person risk. The counter is documentation: pipeline reporting that shows fee predictability across years, collection-rate history that proves the lien book's value, and financials a stranger can trust without your narration.
