In cases involving personal injuries and accidents, determining what your claim is worth is more than just adding up medical bills and damages to property. It is important to take into consideration the impact your injury could have on your life in the future, psychically, emotionally, and financially. When determining what your injury claim may be worth, it is important consider the following factors:

  • The potential for suffering chronic conditions, with could result in periodic relapses and require ongoing treatment;
  • The impacts health problems could have now and in the future on your ability to participate in activities and do the things you enjoy;
  • The potential for permanent scarring or disfigurement; and
  • Lasting disabilities that could affect your ability to work in your chosen field and could impact your earning potential and future savings.

All of these things and more need to be carefully considered when calculating the total amount your personal injury claim may be worth. Unfortunately, these are often the type of expenses that are either left out or underestimated when dealing with insurance companies. To get a truly accurate estimate of what your claim is worth is to contact our experienced Georgia personal injury attorneys for a free case review.

In the aftermath of an accident, injured victims often mistakenly believe that the insurance company is on their side and will help them to get the amount of compensation they deserve. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The insurer is operating a business, and like any business, their bottom line is making money. In order to accomplish this, companies often limit administrative costs by limiting the amount of time and effort spent on each claim, with the result being that offers to settle your claim may be far less than what you expected or what your case is actually worth. According to the Georgia Office of Insurance, avoid signing an insurance release accepting settlement of your accident claim before doing the following:

  • Conducting your own investigation into the costs associated with replacing or repairing any property damaged in the accident;
  • Speaking with your doctor about the prognosis for your injuries, any future treatments you may require, and any lasting effects or disabilities you may suffer;
  • Keeping a written record of all bills and statements you have received, as well as all correspondence you have had with the company and its representatives; and
  • Consulting with a legal professional before signing a release accepting a settlement amount.

You have one chance to get the compensation you need to recover from your injuries. It pays to have our experienced personal injury attorneys working on your behalf and negotiating with the insurance company to ensure you get the maximum amount you deserve.

In the aftermath of an accidental injury, it does not take long for medical bills to come flooding in. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for these bills and other costs associated with your injuries. How do you manage these medical costs while waiting for your case to settle? You can always elect to have your bills paid through your own private insurance. If you do this, you are still free to receive compensation for these costs through your insurance claim or through a personal injury lawsuit. Your other option is to have our attorneys file a letter of protection on your behalf with your medical providers. This letter lets them know that you are involved in a lawsuit, and assures creditors that they will be paid through the proceeds of your suit or claim.

While most accident victims want to get the maximum amount of compensation for their injuries, many have concerns about actually taking their cases to court. According to statistics from Black’s Law Dictionary, in approximately 95 percent of personal injury cases, the injured party receives a settlement without ever having to step foot in a courtroom. A major reason that insurance companies are willing to settle is that a court proceeding will likely result in increased costs, such as court fees and legal expenses.

Any money saved by offering you less than what your claim is worth is cancelled out by these costs. Additional motivation for at-fault parties to settle is that if a claim amount cannot be agreed upon and the case goes to trial, a judge will then set the amount, which is again likely to involve additional costs, thereby eliminating any savings for the insurer or at fault party.

The entire basis for most car accident cases is physical injuries. Sure, there are other types of damages. You may have property damage. You may also have pain and suffering. But, for the most part, without physical injuries, you have no case.

One of the most common injuries in car accidents is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when your neck is stretched too far in one direction. It usually heals itself within a few days. There really is no medical treatment for whiplash. It’s not something that requires surgery.

The thing about whiplash is that there is no way to prove you have it. A doctor can diagnose you with whiplash. He can tell from your symptoms if you have it or not. However, he can’t do a medical test to prove you have whiplash.

If whiplash makes up the basis for your car accident case, you’ll have to prove you have it. Juries do not trust people who walk into a courtroom and ask for thousands of dollars. Your car accident lawyer will have to rely on outside evidence to prove you have it.

Carrollton Car Accident Lawyers Have a Hard Time Proving Whiplash

Because it’s impossible to prove you have whiplash medically, a lot of juries doubt that it’s a real injury. Although we’ve all heard of whiplash, most people don’t think it’s a serious injury. And from watching television and movies, people have no tolerance for people who play up fake injuries.

When someone’s entire case is based on whiplash, they will have a hard time winning in court. Juries and judges know that it’s easy to fake whiplash. Your Carrollton car accident attorney will have to rely on expert testimony to prove that you have this injury.

Doctors can only testify that they believe you have the injury. They can’t submit MRI or x-rays to prove it. It’s not like a back injury or a knee injury. Your lawyer will have to rely on a credible witness to prove your case.

How Much Can Your Carrollton Auto Accident Attorney Get You for Whiplash?

A lot of people overestimate how much money they’ll receive in a lawsuit. You have to remember – it’s not your Carrollton auto accident attorney’s job to make you rich. It is his job to make you whole. An injury like whiplash isn’t going to entitle you to a whole lot.

Most cases involving whiplash have other injuries to go along with it. Whiplash is like the cherry on top. It gets you an extra few thousand dollars. If your claim is based solely on whiplash, don’t expect to receive a whole lot of money.

Most whiplash cases settle for about $5,000. Once you pay your legal fees and medical bills, there won’t be much left. In fact, if whiplash is your only injury, you may have a hard time finding a lawyer who will accept your case. No attorney wants to put dozens of man-hours into a case that may earn him, at most, a couple of thousand dollars.

What whiplash can do is increase your overall settlement in a serious car accident case. When a jury or judge is determining pain and suffering, they will keep whiplash in mind. It’s not necessary to walk into court wearing a neck brace. Any juror with common sense knows that whiplash heals in a couple of weeks at most. There’s no way your neck will still hurt months or a year after your accident.
