Multiple Car Injuries

multiple injuryThis is a post by the McDonough Personal Injury Law Firm:

19 people were involved in car accident in Henry County, Georgia.  The accident involved four cars and 19 people.  According to local police, 10 people were injured and one was seriously injured.  The accident happened on interstate 75 going through Henry County.  Interstate 75 is a widely-driven interstate that goes from south Georgia to North Georgia.  At the time of this post, very little is known about the details of the accident.  We will update when we have more information about the four car accident in McDonough.

This cases raises significant issues for an Atlanta personal injury attorney. The first issue is about the available and sustainability of insurance. This is a must. There must be auto insurance in order to pay the claims, especially in a tough economy like ours. This is because most people today do not have assets to attach after a personal injury claim. Because of this we are limited to insurance proceeds from policies.

In this example, if 9 people were injured in one car, then we will have a major problem. Most of the individuals will not have any relief from the proceeds of the auto insurance policy. I will explain.

The average person has the legal minimum limit of twenty-five thousand per person and fifty thousand per claim. That means that $50,000 must be split between the claimants, all nine of them. What will likely happen is the first two to file a claim with significant injuries will deplete the policies and the others will get nothing.

Hopefully, that was not the case. Injuries with multiple people getting injured creates numerous problems.
