Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.

I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

What is my Georgia personal injury case worth? (Part B)

Additional Variables in a Personal Injury Claim Value

When determining your personal injury claim value, certainly variables will be reviewed including:

Lost wages - if the accident has caused you to miss time from work, you will need documentation from your employer. You might be able to recover the amount you would have earned from the time of the injury until a settlement or judgment has been reached.
Lost earning capacity - you might be entitled to these damages if you can prove your ability to earn money in the future has been compromised because of your injuries. Your past earnings might be used to determine how much you are entitled.
Loss of consortium - if the benefits of your married life have suffered because of the accident, your spouse could be entitled to compensation in your Georgia personal injury case. Loss of consortium involves sexual relations, affection, solace, companionship and household help.
Property damage - this includes your vehicle damage and anything else that was damaged, such as eyeglasses, dentures or hearing aids.

The insurance company will generally look at how much money you have spent or lost because of the accident when calculating the value of your Georgia personal injury claim. When it comes to damages such as emotional anguish and pain and suffering, the insurance company will use a formula to determine compensation. If such non-economic damages may be applied to your personal injury claim value, you'll want the help of your Douglasville attorney to make sure you're being offered a fair amount.

For example, the insurance company might first add all of your medical expenses. This figure will then be doubled or multiplied by as much as 5 or 10 to compensate you for physical and emotional pain. Then compensation for lost wages will be added and your Douglasville attorney will begin negotiations with the insurance company.

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your Douglasville attorney will be prepared to take your Georgia personal injury case to a formal court of law to help you receive the compensation you deserve.
