How to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia (Part B)

Determine the Value of a Georgia Injury Claim (Part B)

When adding up all the damages that you may be able to recover after an accident, your medical bills and loss of income aren't the only important factors. For help determining a fair estimated settlement amount and the value of a Georgia injury claim, take your case to an experienced Villa Rica personal injury lawyer.

Other Considerations in Injury Claims

After a serious accident, your whole future can be affected, and this is something that will be factored into your claim.

Loss of Earning Potential - If your injuries have reduced your ability to work, your earning capacity, or your promotion potential, this will be taken into account on your claim.
Mental or Emotional Distress - Value will be added to your claim for any emotional stress you've experienced due to the accident, including strains such as fear, worry, loss of dignity, depression, embarrassment, shock and grief.
Physical Pain and Suffering - While it's hard to put a dollar amount on the pain you've endured due to your accident, the nature and severity of your injury will be analyzed and factored in.
Loss of Consortium - In cases where an uninjured spouse has suffered a loss of married life benefits due to the injuries of the other spouse, certain losses may be included in a claim such as companionship, comfort, affection and sexual relations.

Factoring in Your Comparative Fault

After a dollar amount has been figured, the amount will be reduced by the level of your fault in the accident. For example, if you were 20% at fault in the accident, your damage total will be reduced by 20%.

This, naturally, only applies to cases in which you have a degree of comparative fault in the accident, not for cases in which the other party is completely liable.

Regardless of the extent of your injuries, you'll want to talk about your case with a Villa Rica personal injury lawyer who knows how to determine the real value of a Georgia injury claim.
