Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

So you have the potential of obtaining the $100k limits from the at-fault party plus your $25K UM plus your $50k med pay. The catch is going to be what type of UM coverage you have. There are two types and if you have the better kind called add-on UM you can received the $25k limits. If you do not have that type then you will not receive any UM in the case and you would be left with the $100k from at-fault and $50k med pay.

There are potentially other sources of insurance you want to make sure someone has advised you of and pursued availability since you have a case worth potentially way more than the current available insurance coverages.

I hope this helps and if you need to speak to a Georgia lawyer, I would be happy to speak with you.

Depends; could be up to $1M with punitive damages, if applicable

Cherokee juries can be very rough on pro se Plaintiffs

Good luck

The explanation of coverages by Mr. Spaulding is correct as far as it goes. Sometimes you can get more liability coverage if the defendant has car insurance on himself on another vehicle, or lives with someone who has an additional policy, or has an umbrella, etc. This is complicated and you really need to consult with an attorney who knows and understands liability insurance coverage and the interplay between liability insurance, UM coverage (and the priorities of UM), med-pay, health insurance, etc . Most attorneys don't. Many think they do but don't. This needs to be investigated thoroughly and all possible sources of insurance flushed out. You may need to find an attorney who now represents injured plaintiffs who also has experience as a former insurance defense lawyer who learned all this arcane insurance coverage stuff when he worked previously defending insurance companies. Good luck. If I can help feel free to call. (770)427-8468
