How much is a bicycle accident claim worth? 

The value of any bicycle accident claim in Georgia can vary dramatically. But some of the most critical factors in determining case value are injury severity and the presence of lost wages. Another crucial factor is the size of the insurance policy of the at-fault driver. What follows is a brief guide to give you an idea of what your bicycle accident claim could potentially be worth.

• Lower-End ($5,000 – $25,000): Cases that fall in this range will typically include more minor injuries such as bruises, cuts, and sprains. Victims tend to receive minimal medical treatment and have no adverse long-term health outcomes.
• Mid-Range ($25,000 – $100,000): Cases that fall in this range tend to involve more moderate injuries, such as fractures and concussions. Victims may need extensive medical treatments or rehabilitation. The accident may have a moderate impact on a person’s daily life and their ability to perform physical activities.
• Higher-end ($100,000 – $500,000): Cases that fall in this range will tend to involve severe injuries, such as spinal cord trauma or traumatic brain injuries. Victims may suffer long-term or permanent disabilities as a result of the accident. They may also be left with substantial medical bills and lost wages from taking time off work.
• Catastrophic Cases: ($500,000 – $1 million+): Cases that fall within this range tend to involve catastrophic and life-changing injuries. This could include paralysis, amputation, or even death. Victims will typically need ongoing care for the rest of their lives. They may also never be able to return to their previous profession.
