Glennville, GA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

I'm not sure I'm clear on your facts, but liability insurance would not cover damage to the vehicle that the at-fault driver is driving at the time of the wreck.

What really happened? Your brother will get credit for time served when he eventually pleads guilty. Did he lose his job? If he did, tell him not to pay his attorney.

You don't state whether this is a worker's comp claim or a liability case. If it is a comp claim and you have a permanent injury, you may be able to get a "schedule award" which is based on a formula depending on the extent of your disability and your rate of pay, offset by payments you have already received. Otherwise, assessment of damages in a personal injury case requires detailed analysis of liability, the injuries, and the effect of those injuries upon the individual. This analysis includes application of legal principles, evidentiary factors, medical documentation, out of pocket expenses, calculation of future losses and experience in your jurisdiction as to likely range of prospective jury awards. A "cookie-cutter" approach, a standard answer or a formula would be a disservice to someone such as yourself, who needs the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer. To answer the question properly, one would need extensive examination of all the evidence, particularly the medical records. That being said, if this is a car crash case, it may be that $50,000 is the limit of the policy. If that's all their is, then that's all there is. But how do you know? If you don't have a lawyer, you need one. If you do, then don't try to second-guess your lawyer by going on the 'net and trying to get free advice from people who don't know you or your case. The results would be completely invalid.
