Who is going to pay the Medical Bills from the accident?

In an injury case, you are bound to have medical bills.  Most likely, you will have gone to the hospital (Sylvan Grove Hospital), doctor, physical therapist, or more.  First, your own insurance policy may have med pay.  This is a small allowance, sometimes several thousand dollars.  This will be a potential first step.  Of course, if you have health insurance, they will pay the bills, but look to you for reimbursement after any settlement or verdict.  But, in the end, the other person’s insurance company will pay the bills out of the settlement or verdict.

Can an Injury Lawyer recover money for Missed Work when I was recovering from the accident?

Yes.  It is important to document the amount of money owed.  Your doctor should give you a recommendation to miss work for a certain amount of days.  It is important that any days of work missed are necessary and related to the injury.

What are Pain and Suffering damages?

Pain and suffering are recoverable damages in an auto injury case.  These damages relate to the extent of the injury, duration of pain, length of time in treatment, and other factors.  For example, the more hurt you were, the more reasonable it is to demand a higher settlement offer.

When are Punitive Damages Allowed in Georgia?

Generally, to receive punitive damages in Georgia a person or entity (like a company) must act in an intentional manner or conducts themselves with a conscious disregard to the consequences.  In the context of a car accident, if the person who hit you was driving under the influence of alcohol or received a DUI.  Also, if the driver was driving in a reckless manner may subject him to punitive damages.  Talk to your Jackson Personal Injury Lawyer for Butts County, Georgia.
