if you cannot find an answer to your question.
There is not a single attorney who can in good conscience tell you what your case is worth – at least not in the beginning. The value of any particular case depends on a number of variables such as the nature and extent of your injuries, the amount of your medical expenses, any lost wages, any permanent disabilities, the amount of insurance coverage available, and many other factors.
The amount of time it takes to settle a case varies for each individual case. Some cases may resolve within a few months, while others may take years. It depends on how much medical care you need, how long it takes you to recover from your injuries, how much insurance coverage is available, and whether or not the insurance company cooperates and offers a fair value for your case.
§ There may be any number of reasons why the at-fault driver’s insurance company may decide not to accept responsibility for the wreck. Unfortunately, you may not find out that they have denied responsibility until weeks or even months after the wreck. If that happens, you will want to make sure that you have some other way to take care of your property damage and your medical expenses. The best way to do that is to look to your own insurance policy. Under Georgia law, you have a limited amount of time to notify your insurance company that you were involved in a wreck. If you don’t, your insurance company can and will deny coverage in the event that you end up needing to use it.
Georgia Code Section 33-9-40 states that no insurer has the right to put any extra charge or cancel a policy when there is a multi-vehicle accident and the insured person is found not to be at fault.
Uninsured motorist coverage is an optional coverage that your insurance company must offer to you. It is used to protect you in the event that the at-fault driver does not have any insurance, or in the event that the other driver leaves the scene and cannot be found. Under those circumstances, you want to have a backup plan for being compensated for your injuries.

Underinsured motorist coverage is an optional coverage that your insurance company must offer to you. It is used to protect you in the event that the at-fault driver does not have enough insurance coverage to pay for all of your damages.
MedPay is another optional coverage that you can purchase, and it is used to pay for your medical bills in the event that you are injured in an accident. This is in addition to any reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance company, and can be used even if you were at fault for the wreck.
No, you must exhaust their insurance coverage first. If they don’t have enough insurance coverage to pay for all of your damages, then you may have the option to pursue personal liability against them.
Depending on the age of your vehicle along with a few additional factors, you may be entitled to payment for the “diminished value” of your vehicle.
There are never any guarantees as to what you will or will not recover. However, as a general rule, in order to recover lost wages you must have a note from a doctor saying you cannot work, you must show proof that you in fact were not working during that period of time that the doctor said you could not work, and you must prove how much money you lost by not working.
