At the Kalka Law Group, we have recovered millions in Georgia car accident settlements or judgements for our clients.

You may have heard about huge Georgia car accident settlements from commercials you’ve seen on TV or on news stories across the state. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, one of the questions you may be asking yourself is, “how much will I get from my Georgia car accident settlement?” The answer to this question depends on many factors, including the type and severity of injuries, medical costs, loss of wages, and third parties liable for the accident.

 

Typical Settlement Range For Georgia Car Accidents

According to a Martindale-NOLO survey conducted in 2023, the average car accident settlement in the US was $23,900. In Georgia, we’ve found settlement amounts can vary greatly. According to the recent car accident settlement examples listed on this page, the typical Georgia car accident lawsuit settlement is anywhere from $11,000,000 to $645,000. Settlements depend greatly on the unique circumstances of each case, which is why there is no accurate average settlement amount for car accidents in Georgia. Large auto accident settlements happen when the right car accident lawyer is on the case, fighting for the rights of victims.

Our Georgia car accident lawyers can help you get the maximum settlement possible for your case. Our experienced Georgia car accident payout experts know how to negotiate with the insurance company and will be able to gather the evidence you need to prove your case. We will also be able to help you understand your legal rights and options.

Our client was traveling through Marietta going southbound on I-75 in the middle lane, when a charter bus failed to see the traffic slowing in front of him, crossed over the far left lanes, and ultimately collided with our client, causing a five-car crash. Due to the accident, our client experienced serious injuries to his neck, back, and ankle, which required cervical and lumbar spine surgical fusions. Since having these procedures, he has not been able to return to work. Through intensive investigations, Attorney Kalka discovered the bus company ignored several previous safety violations, which contributed to the collision.

What Factors Influence Typical Car Accident Settlement Amounts With Injuries in Georgia?

There are many factors that can impact the amount of a car accident settlement payout in Georgia. Some of the most important factors include:

  • The severity of the injuries: The more severe the injuries, the higher the settlement amount will likely be. This is because more severe injuries will require more extensive medical treatment and may result in lost wages or permanent disability.
  • The amount of property damage: The amount of property damage sustained in the accident will also affect the payout amount. If there is significant property damage, the settlement amount will likely be higher.
  • The fault for the accident: If the injured party is found to be at fault for the accident, the settlement amount will likely be lower. However, if the other driver is found to be at fault, the settlement amount will likely be higher.
  • The insurance coverage of the at-fault driver: The amount of insurance coverage that the at-fault driver has will also affect the settlement payout amount. If the at-fault driver has a high insurance policy, the settlement amount will likely be higher.
  • The experience of the lawyer: The experience of the lawyer representing the injured party can also affect the settlement amount. A lawyer with a good track record of success in car accident cases will be able to negotiate a higher settlement amount.
  • The willingness of the parties to settle: If both parties are willing to settle, the settlement amount will likely be higher than if one party is not willing to settle.
  • The time it takes to settle: The longer it takes to settle, the lower the settlement amount will likely be. This is because the injured party will have to pay for their own medical expenses and other costs in the meantime.

It is important to note that the factors listed above are not exhaustive. There may be other factors that can affect the amount of a car accident settlement in Georgia.
