Should You Handle a Milton Car Accident Claim Alone?
Handling a car accident claim alone can be incredibly difficult. Insurers often resolve unrepresented claims quickly and cheaply because no one is there to push back. With an attorney on your side, you can protect your rights and interests.
Your lawyer begins by investigating the crash and gathering the evidence needed to establish fault. That foundation supports an accurate claim value that reflects your future needs. Once the demand is ready, your attorney takes over negotiations. If the insurer still refuses a fair settlement, the case goes to court.
Top Contributors to Motor Vehicle Collisions in the Milton Area
A single careless decision behind the wheel can cause a serious crash. Our attorneys see the same negligent behaviors at the root of many collisions:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, adjusting GPS, eating, and reaching for objects all pull a driver’s eyes and attention from the road.
- Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or prescription drugs slows reaction time and impairs judgment.
- Speeding: Drivers who exceed posted limits or drive too fast for traffic conditions need more distance to stop and are more likely to lose control.
- Fatigued Driving: Drowsy drivers experience delayed reactions and can fall asleep at the wheel, drifting into oncoming lanes or off the road entirely.
- Poor Weather Decisions: Rain, ice, and fog require reduced speeds and extra following distance, and drivers who fail to adjust cause serious accidents.
How Settlements Are Calculated in Car Accident Cases
A car accident settlement is calculated by adding up two categories of damages. Economic damages include your medical bills, the cost of future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and vehicle repairs. Non-economic damages compensate you for the pain and suffering you have experienced.
Jacobs and Jacobs calculates economic damages using records such as billing statements, repair invoices, and pay stubs. For pain and suffering, we consider how your injuries have affected your daily life and then apply common valuation methods to reach a defensible figure. These methods typically multiply your economic losses by a factor that reflects the severity and permanence of your injuries.
