If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, it’s crucial to seek legal assistance from attorneys specializing in auto accident law.

Several factors contribute to determining the value of your car accident case and its potential settlement. While a jury typically makes the final decision if the case goes to trial, insurance companies often evaluate various outcomes and prefer to settle claims that offer a fair value compared to the uncertainties of litigation. It’s important to balance trust between the client and plaintiff while maintaining realistic expectations based on likely outcomes.
Several factors can influence the settlement amount of your car accident case, though there are exceptions. These factors include:
Vehicle Damage: More severe damage often leads to a higher potential settlement.
Prior Medical Care: If you have previous medical treatment for injuries worsened by the accident, this can significantly impact the settlement.
Nature of Medical Care: The type of medical care received matters. For example, treatments like chiropractic care may not be valued as highly by a jury or insurance company.
Facts That Increase Value: Certain conditions can raise the case’s value, such as involvement of a commercial vehicle, DUI, speeding, cell phone use, or a poor driving record. These can significantly affect the case’s worth.
Answering these questions helps us estimate your case’s value. Contact us at (404) 259-7635 or fill out our online form to request a free consultation.
These injuries can have long-term impacts on your personal and professional life. It’s crucial to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions to avoid bearing the financial burden of lost income, high medical expenses, and potential future wage loss.

Generally, the cost of hiring a lawyer for car accident cases is based on a contingency fee. If no lawsuit is filed, the fee is usually a percentage of the client's total recovery. If a lawsuit is filed, this percentage often increases. For instance, there may be a bulk discount if multiple clients are involved in the same accident.
Our Atlanta car accident attorneys assist clients dealing with a range of injuries resulting from auto accidents. This encompasses compensation for medical costs, lost wages, future earning potential, and quality of life impact, including long-term disabilities and pain and suffering.
Medical costs: Medical expenses can vary based on the extent of your injury and the necessary treatment. Typical costs may include ambulance transport, emergency care, hospitalization or ICU stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and medical equipment. Additionally, future medical expenses can also be included in your claim as recoverable damages if ongoing care is needed.
Lost wages: Lost income is a significant concern when you sustain serious injuries. Hospitalization or doctor's orders may prevent you from working, and your injury might limit your ability to perform certain tasks associated with your job. This could lead to missed work hours and reduced income. Additionally, if your disability affects your ability to work in the future, you may have to seek lower-paying employment or be unable to work at all. Consequently, compensation for future lost earning potential is also available.
Non-economic damages: These damages encompass losses that aren't directly tied to financial costs. These losses are intangible and can be challenging to quantify. They include physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the trauma of permanent disfigurement or disabilities.

In Atlanta, the statute of limitations for car accidents is two years from the date of injury, regardless of whether it was caused by a collision, dog bite, or other form of negligence.
The only exception occurs when the statute of limitations is suspended due to being cited in traffic court. In such cases, the two-year period starts from the date of the crash and continues until the traffic ticket is resolved. For instances involving DUI crashes, which may take years to resolve in court, the statute of limitations is extended accordingly to accommodate the legal process.
