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.

Brain injuries are more unique than snowflakes or fingerprints. However, they all seem to have similar symptoms. There’s no common recovery rate for a brain injury. In fact, the commonalities between brain injuries are few and far between, but doctors and medical teams often treat patients the same way. It’s an obstacle within the medical community and a hindrance to those in recovery.

The only good news is that you can look at past situations and cases to develop a best and worst-case scenario. Don’t let this brain injury cause more damage than what has already been done. Your life could get back on track. But often when it comes to financial recovery, and getting all the medical support you need, you can’t do it alone. An experienced car wreck attorney in Lawrenceville, GA can help.

How Long Does the Average Settlement Take for a Brain Injury?

A settlement can take as few as two weeks. But, one of the biggest factors that impacts the timeline is the extent of the injuries, and we’ll explain why. First, you have to collect all the values of the damages. For minor fender benders, that only means taking your car to an appraiser for an inspection. Then, you have to wait for the insurance company to determine fault. Afterward, they will work with the other insurance company (of the at-fault driver), to determine a settlement figure.

Settlements will always start well below what you’re owed, and they determine what you’re owed based on a system they control. Until you start to factor in injuries. Then the medical community starts putting in dollar amounts that they can’t control, and it scares these insurance companies. So when you have serious injuries, life-changing injuries, it can work in your favor to stretch out the timeline.

How Bad Is a Brain Injury, And Will The Degree Impact Your Claim?

There are roughly ten different forms of brain injuries, although only about eight of them can happen in a car wreck. Of those eight possibilities, it’s very likely that you’ll experience more than one. For example, you may have a diffuse axonal injury, as well as a brain contusion.

Understanding the severity of the injury and the type of injury is key in your claim. The different types and levels of an injury will directly impact the financial demands for your recovery from a brain injury. Those financial demands will determine your claim compensation possibilities. They should clearly be available for review in your demand letter and be as indisputable as possible.

Understanding The Future Care You Will Need Before Making Your Claim

Your settlement may go through rather quickly if you don’t have the need for ongoing or constant care. Instead of rushing for a settlement as quickly as possible, make sure that you clearly understand your future needs. You can report the crash but wait on making your demand letter until you have some understanding of how much assistance you’ll need.

Talk to your medical team early on about occupational therapy, physical therapy, and the possible need for an at-home nurse. If you need extensive care, then you may be able to speed the process toward your settlement with an expert on brain injury recovery. Otherwise, you may need to determine the costs of living with this injury and what you’ll expect the at-fault driver to cover.

If it’s clear that you’ll hit the cap on coverage quickly, then you may receive a compensation check right away. But after that, you might need to get an attorney to pursue a lawsuit against the driver directly for the remainder of the damages. It’s not common, and usually, the insurance company will step in again. At the end of a standalone civil trial, you may not receive anything. Many people simply don’t have funds to pay out to victims, which is why they carry auto insurance.

The timeline on getting your settlement for the brain damage suffered as part of a wreck will depend on your injuries, recovery time, and expenses.

Should You Call a Georgia Car Accident Lawyer to Help Process Your Insurance Demand?

Car insurance should be there to help you pay for all the medical bills associated with your injuries from any car accident. Unfortunately, most victims are given compensation amounts that pale in comparison to their medical debt. What you need to put forth the greatest effort to get full compensation is an attorney who can negotiate aggressively.

At the Law Office of John B. Jackson, our Lawrenceville, Georgia car accident law firm supports the victims who need extensive financial relief. After a brain injury, you may be looking at decades of at-home care or therapy. Your treatment, therapy, and more should fall under coverage to the full extent of the policy. We’ll help you put up that fight.
