How to Calculate a Car Accident Settlement in Georgia 

Let’s suppose you’ve recently been injured in a Savannah car accident. You are struggling with physical pain, mental distress, worry about bills, lost income, medical expenses, and more. You know you deserve to receive a settlement because you didn’t cause the accident, but you don’t know where to start.

One of the questions you probably have is how to calculate a car accident settlement in Georgia. Of course your lawyer can help you calculate your claim, but the basic process has been described below for you.

Calculating a Georgia Car Accident Settlement

To start your calculations, gather all of your documents and evidence that shows how this accident has impacted your life. Collect medical expenses, proof of how much income you’ve lost, car repair receipts, and whatever else could help you calculate your claim.

Next, begin adding up all of these losses. Medical expenses plus car repairs plus lost income and so on. Be sure to include any future expenses that you expect to pay. You will then have a calculation of how much money you’re owed for the monetary losses you sustained.

Then, you need to make a list of the non-monetary issues this car accident has brought to your life. Are you struggling with physical pain? Were you permanently injured? Did you suffer a head injury that has limited your ability to work? Do you have a disfiguring scar as a result of the accident?

Document all of these losses. Your lawyer can help you come up with an amount of money that can compensate you for these non-monetary losses.
