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.

Most of us will be involved in a car accident at some point in our lives. Thankfully, most of these are minor. Your car has a few dings and dents but, for the most part, everybody is okay. There are other people who aren’t so lucky. If you’re involved in a serious car accident, you could end up in the hospital for some time. Your Lawrenceville car accident lawyer will be there to make sure you get the medical care you need. They’ll also push to get you compensation for your injuries.

If your injuries are serious, you may not be able to meet with an attorney. One of our Lawrenceville car accident lawyers can come out and meet with you. They can come to your home or the hospital. They’ll handle the legal side of things while you focus on getting better. All you must do is call and schedule your free initial consultation.

Your Lawrenceville Car Accident Lawyer Will Have to Prove Negligence

Before you can even think about damages, your Lawrenceville car accident lawyer needs to prove fault. In order to do this, they’ll have to show that the other driver was negligent. This requires that they demonstrate the following four (4) things:

  • The defendant owed you a duty of care – This isn’t all that hard to do. All drivers owe a duty of care to other motorists. At a minimum, they need to obey all of the local traffic laws.
  • They breached this duty – You do have to show that the other driver breached their duty of care. You can prove this by showing that they got a ticket at the scene of the crash. Or you can submit other evidence to show that the driver was speeding or driving recklessly.
  • You were hurt – It’s not enough that you were involved in a car crash. You’ll need to show that you were injured as well. Typically, this requires that you prove you suffered physical injuries. That’s why it’s so important that you go to the emergency room immediately after your crash.
  • Your injuries were caused by the defendant’s breach – Unless something other than the car wreck caused your injuries, the defendant will be held liable. You’ll have to submit evidence that you didn’t get hurt by something on the way to the hospital.

Once your Lawrenceville car accident lawyer proves negligence, you’ll need to prove damages. Just keep in mind – it’s not your lawyer’s job to make you rich. It’s their job to make you whole. You can only expect compensation for injuries you’ve experienced.

You’ll Also Have to Prove Damages

One way to prove damages is to submit a copy of your medical records. You can also submit copies of bills or receipts from out-of-pocket expenses. If your injuries are very severe, you may not be able to work ever again. If this is the case, you’ll likely be entitled to two things: lost wages and lost future income.

If you miss a week or more from work, you’ll be able to claim damages for lost wages. Your Lawrenceville car accident lawyer can submit copies of your timesheets and payroll records. Any personal time you have available needs to be used before you can demand damages for lost wages. If your injuries are extremely severe, you may not be able to work ever again.

You May Be Entitled to Lost Future Earnings

Some people are hurt so badly, they’re not able to work again after their accident. In cases like this, Lawrenceville car accident layers can demand lost future income. This is the difference in what you would’ve earned had you not been injured compared to what you’ll earn now. You can multiply this amount by the number of years left until retirement. For example, let’s say that you were making $80,000 as a construction worker before the crash. You break your back in the car crash and can’t work anymore. You’re only going to get about $35,000 per year on disability. That’s a difference of $45,000 per year. If you have another twenty (20) years left to work, you’d demand about $900,000 in damages for lost future income.
