Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia
How much for pain and suffering?
My wife got shot, more specifically, grazed by a bullet. It came through our window from the next door neighbor trying to remove some deer from his property--so
it was an accident. He's agreed to pay for all damages to the property and all the
medical bills and the day off from work that my wife missed. Obviously her arm will hurt for a while but the doc says there's no permanent damage. Are we due some pain
and suffering damages? If so, what would be fair? We would like to settle this without going to court.

Re: How much for pain and suffering?
Your wife has a right to recover her medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. The matter should be handled by your neighbor's homeowner's policy. The question of how much should be awarded for pain and suffering depends on many factors, including whether there is a permanent scar, how much her medical bills have cost and will cost in the future and how this has affected her. These types of decisions are usually made on a case by case basis. If you'd like to discuss the details of her case further, you may contact me directly at (404) 214-0123.
