Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the average personal injury settlement in Whitfield County?
Personal injury settlements in Whitfield County can vary wildly, depending on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on your life. While minor injury cases might settle for a few thousand dollars, catastrophic injuries can reach six or even seven figures. Factors like the defendant’s insurance coverage, the strength of your evidence, and the skill of your attorney all play a massive role in determining the final amount.
How is pain and suffering calculated in Georgia?
In Georgia, pain and suffering damages are typically calculated using either the “multiplier” or “per diem” method. The multiplier method takes your actual damages (like medical bills and lost income) and multiplies them by a number, usually between 1.5 and 5, depending on the severity of your suffering. The per diem method assigns a daily dollar amount to your pain, multiplied by the number of days you’ve endured it.
