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.

No matter what state you live in, if you hit a pedestrian with your car, you’re probably going to be found liable. This is true even if the pedestrian wasn’t in the crosswalk at the time of the accident.

This may not seem fair. Why do they have crosswalks if people aren’t required to use them? It’s not really a matter of fair. It’s a matter of common sense.

If you’re driving your car down the road, you have to keep your eyes out for pedestrians. You need to be careful at all times. So, it’s your responsibility to make sure you don’t hit somebody on foot.

Of course, there are cases where a pedestrian won’t be able to recover for their injuries. But these are few and far between. A pedestrian would have to behave quite recklessly in order to have no recourse against the driver.

For the most part, even in Georgia, pedestrians will be able to recover against the driver of the car that hit them. They have less control of the situation than the driver. They also are defenseless victims. They can’t withstand the impact of getting run over by a two-ton vehicle.

If you’re a pedestrian who’s been hit by a car, you need to call an accident lawyer in Douglasville, Georgia.

Why Would the Driver Be Found Liable?

When it comes to pedestrian accidents, the driver is almost always going to be found liable. A driver owes everyone on the road, including pedestrians, a duty of care. This duty requires that they use common sense while driving. It also requires that they keep an eye out for other cars and people on foot.

So, when someone hits a pedestrian with their car, it’s going to be presumed that they were at fault. It is very hard to convince a judge or jury that the pedestrian caused the accident. In almost all cases, the driver had the last chance to avoid the accident.

But this doesn’t seem fair. If a pedestrian wasn’t in a crosswalk, the driver has the right of way, doesn’t he? Technically, yes. But no court in the land is going to say that you can mow down a pedestrian simply because he wasn’t in a crosswalk.

Is the Pedestrian Ever at Fault?

Common sense (and the law) tells us that a pedestrian can’t run out into oncoming traffic and then sue for damages. But most injury cases don’t involve pedestrians who run into oncoming traffic.

Most of these cases involve pedestrians who, at worst, weren’t paying attention to traffic. They could be talking on dealing with a petulant child. They may be on their way back from the beach and are just trying to make it home with all their gear.

There are some instances, however, where the pedestrian will be considered at fault:

  • The pedestrian runs into busy traffic at night
  • The pedestrian is jaywalking at the time of the crash
  • The pedestrian was laying down in the middle of the street
  • The pedestrian was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident

Short of reckless behavior, there are very few times when the pedestrian will be deemed at fault.

How is Fault Determined?

Your Douglasville injury lawyer knows that Georgia is a comparative negligence state. So, even if you were partially at fault, you may still be able to recover for your injuries.

In Georgia, if you’re partially at fault for your accident, you can still file a legal claim. The difference is, if you’re found to be more than 50% at fault, you can’t recover. In fact, if you’re more than 50% at fault, the other party can probably recover from you.

Your Douglasville accident lawyer will fight to prove that the driver was at fault. They’ll try to negotiate a settlement with the driver’s insurance company. If this isn’t possible, they’ll have no choice but to file a lawsuit on your behalf.

In the lawsuit, your lawyer is going to demand that you be compensated for the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability

They’ll work hard to get you as much money as possible.
