How much is my injury claim worth?
It is impossible to determine an exact, accurate number regarding how much you will receive for your personal injury claim. There are many factors that go into deciding what amount of compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Many of these have no set monetary value and are not officially determined until you negotiate with the insurance company, or until a judge's sentence in court. Nevertheless, an experienced personal injury lawyer could still help you get a general idea of what you deserve to receive in a settlement.
Some of these factors include:
- The severity of your injury
- Loss of income
- Loss of consortium/companionship
- The extent and length of your treatment
- Doctors' records
- Gas mileage to and from appointments
- And more
What is Considered a "personal injury"?
Personal injuries occur when someone is injured in an accident. Types of accidents can include car accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, and more. If an injury victim is not responsible for causing the accident in any way, their injuries are called "personal injuries" and should be covered by their insurance and the insurance of the responsible party. When either insurance company refuses to offer rightful coverage, a personal injury claim could be filed and an adequate settlement could be negotiated between the parties or fought for in court.
Will I have to go to court for my personal injury claim?
Not necessarily. It may be possible for you to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company with the representation and guidance of an injury attorney. This is not always possible, however, in which case your claim will require litigation. It is very important to have an attorney by your side whether you go to court or not, so contact a lawyer right away.
Why do I need a personal injury attorney?
Whether you are negotiating with your insurance for a fair settlement or are fighting for one in court, legal representation is not required. Attempting to do so alone, however, is one of the worst decisions you could make. Only a personal injury lawyer has the detailed knowledge and extensive experience necessary to argue your case in a persuasive manner and win the highest possible recovery of your damages. Trying to represent yourself is very likely to end in an inadequate amount of compensation, so don't take chances.

How to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia
The first thing you should know about filing a personal injury claim in the state of Georgia is that it’s important to act quickly. In most cases, you only have two years from the date of the accident/injury (or the date you became aware of the injury) to bring a claim. After this statute of limitations has passed, you will not be able to file a claim.
Secondly, the process itself can be complex. You will need to gather various documents and submit them through the proper channels. You may also need to present evidence that someone else was, in fact, responsible for your injuries and that these injuries led to specific, measurable damages.
When Are You Entitled to Attorney's Fees in GA?
In Georgia, there is a statute that sets forth the guidelines for when a party to a lawsuit is entitled to have their attorney's fees paid for them. Statute O.C.G.A. §13-6-11 states that although attorneys fees are not generally awarded, in a specific case a jury may find that a party is entitled to an award of attorney's fees.
This is usually the case when an opposing party has acted in bad faith, has made the process unnecessarily difficult, or has caused needless expense. In a recent case handed down by the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Court reminded the state that the ability to award attorney's fees is for the jury and not the judge.
