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.

When clients walk into personal injury lawyers’ offices in Atlanta, they have two questions. The first thing they want to know is how much their case is worth. The second thing they want to know is how long it’ll take to get their money. What they don’t realize is that an attorney really can’t answer these questions –especially during the initial consultation. Any attorney who promises their clients anything in the first meeting isn’t really the kind of lawyer you want handling your Atlanta car accident lawsuit. It’s impossible to know that early exactly how much someone’s case is worth. And, unless settlement negotiations are already underway, it would be unfair to tell a potential client how long it will take to resolve their case.

The reason people ask these questions is simple – they want money. They wouldn’t have hired an attorney if they weren’t seeking damages from the defendant. Yes, lawyers want to get their clients justice. But the way they do this is by getting them compensation for their injuries. And this can take time. In fact, most cases take anywhere from 9 months to a year to settle. By the time you decide that you need to file suit, it can be months after your initial accident. For example, for the first few months following your crash, your lawyer will be hoping the defendant’s insurance company will do the right thing and pay your claim. When it becomes evident that this isn’t going to happen, your Atlanta car accident lawyer will have a few decisions to make.

Once it becomes clear that the insurance company has no intention of paying your claim, you and your attorney need to decide if you want to sue. If your case is worth more than a few thousand dollars, the answer to this question will probably be yes. And, the stronger your case, the more likely it is that you would win in court. These are the kinds of things your car accident lawyer in Atlanta will consider when deciding if they’ll take your case.

Is it Better to Settle Your Atlanta Car Accident Lawsuit Rather than Go to Trial?

A lot of car accident victims think they’ll get a ton of money if they sue the other driver. They take their accident and their injuries personally. They want their day in court. What they don’t realize is that more than 95% of all car accident cases in Georgia actually settle long before trial. Nobody wants to go to court – this includes the insurance company. It takes years to actually get to trial. And it costs thousands of dollars in fees and costs. It’s in everyone’s best interests to settle outside of court.

There are lots of reasons why would want to consider settling your case rather than go to trial:

  • You’re guaranteed money in your settlement. If you go to trial, there’s always the chance that you could lose and get nothing.
  • You’ll get money a lot faster than if you wait and go to trial.
  • You’ll get a lump sum. If you sue and win, you could get a judgment that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. For example, if the defendant has no assets, your judgment will be worthless.

Your attorney can explain all of this when you meet with them for the first time. They’ll answer any questions you might have. They’ll also let you know what the benefits are of settling your case. Of course, they won’t settle your case unless that’s what you want to do. If you insist on going to trial, they’ll do that on your behalf.
