Factors That Influence the Value of Your Case

Most Georgia accident victims want to know how much their auto accident claim is worth. Unfortunately, there is not a magic formula for determining this. To answer the question, victims must look at a multitude of factors that insurance claims adjusters and car accident attorneys use to compute compensation amounts. The value of a person’s claim will vary extensively, depending on the severity of the accident, cost of injuries, etc. Just some factors that will aid in determining how much a claim is worth, include:

  • Who was at-fault?
  • How severe are the injuries?
  • How do those injuries affect the victim’s life?
  • What was the victim’s income status before the accident? What will it be after he or she has recovered (if he or she can recover)?
  • Do you have health insurance?
  • Did the at-fault individual have auto insurance?
  • What was the extent of the property damage?
