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.

If you have ever been through a legal battle and lost, the option of an appeals process may be something you are considering. Navigating this process can be complex and overwhelming, but with the right

If your car was hit while it was parked, the first thing you should do is document the scene of the wreck. This is easily done by taking a few pictures. But you’ll always want to report the wreck to your insurance company and file a police report. If you’re lucky, then you’ll have a note left on your windshield with the other driver’s insurance information. This happens when the driver simply doesn’t have the time to wait around for someone to come out of a store or get through a parking lot to tell them about the crash.

Then there are the worst situations the cases where a driver hit your vehicle then took off and didn’t leave any information. Even though your car was parked, this is still considered a hit and run accident. Hardly seems like an accident at all, right? In those cases, you’ll definitely want to file a police report and then start reaching out to businesses or homeowners in the area to try to recover any evidence. An automobile accident attorney in Atlanta can help you get started on your parked car claim.

Where Was Your Car Parked?

There are different ways of handling a parked car accident. If your car was parked in a grocery store parking lot, that would be different than your car getting hit in your driveway. The environment that your car was hit can make a difference in the evidence available and how your insurance company should handle your claim.

Now, don’t freak out. If your car was hit in your driveway, you might need to put up a bit of a fight. Insurance companies will look at those types of claims more closely because they highly suspect them of fraud. The thought is that someone who hit someone else or had previously been in a wreck that was their fault would claim it is a parked car accident in their driveway later. You would need to go through a lengthy investigation to prove that this wasn’t the case.

Cars parked in other areas often do go through the same questioning because there is likely some witness or video surveillance to help show what happened.

Private Property Claims and Requests for Evidence

When parked car crashes happen on private property, it’s important to get a police report because you’re looking at one person’s word versus another. Private property includes driveways and parking lots but not streets, easements, or even alleys.

So what can you do with private property? The good news is that if it’s a business, you can request their video surveillance in hopes that it shows who hit your car and provide enough information to get in contact with them, such as a license plate. However, other private property claims could cause a few disruptions.

Can You Go Through with a Claim if Your Car Was Hit While it was Parked?

You can go through with a claim, and you should. Even if it’s a hit-and-run, you can possibly file under your UIM insurance, or if you have full coverage, you may have an option to file under your collision insurance plan.

Having a claim doesn’t always have to involve another person, and it doesn’t always have to include you being behind the wheel. What should happen is that the other driver should have left a note or message on your windshield and possibly with store security with their name, address, contact number, and an explanation.

Something in that type of note might read like, “Hey, I pulled into a spot, and your car was struck by the left back tire. My name is John Jones. You can reach me at 999-888-7777.” If they’re really great, then they’ll include their insurance information and driver’s license number.

Will an Atlanta Car Wreck Lawyer Help?

Contacting an automobile accident law firm in Alabama is the first step that many people take to set their affairs for their claim in order. Now, if your car was hit when it was parked, you may not know if you can even file a claim. It’s likely that you can and that you should submit a claim, but you might have some trouble getting that started, especially if it was a hit and run case.

Working with the law office of John B. Jackson, you can establish what you want or need out of a claim, and we can help you file for it. That could mean pulling evidence from nearby businesses or homeowners to see if we can identify or locate the vehicle that hit your car. Additionally, it will likely involve a police report and your insurance company. Get in touch with John B. Jackson’s office in Atlanta now.
