Q: What is typical payout for pain and suffering in a motor accident in Atlanta GA is it a 1.1 ratio with medical bills?
Timur Akpinar's answer
There really isn't such a formula or rule of thumb that can readily be applied in every case across the board. Each case has to be evaluated individually on the basis of the respective liabilities of the parties, the injuries (particularly in terms of their long term impact - considering partial or permanent disability), pain and suffering, and other elements related to how the accident impacts one's life.

As a starting point, you could contact an injury attorney in Montana to review and evaluate the details of the accident and your injuries. In these types of cases, recent dental history could become relevant.

Timur Akpinar's answer
One of the issues you could be confronted with here is the general responsibility to maintain a safe speed for given conditions and to maintain a lookout while driving, regardless of jurisdiction. I hope you were not injured, but based on possible injuries or damages, you could arrange a consultation with a Mississippi car accident attorney. They generally work on contingency and many provide free initial consults.

Timur Akpinar's answer
Contact the manufacturer and ask them if they can work with you toward resolving the issue (whether in the form or service or replacement).

Timur Akpinar's answer
You could possibly have a claim. It would depend on how the accident took place and the injuries. If you contacted a Florida injury attorney for a consultation, they could make a better determination after reviewing additional details about the accident and seeing your medical records.

Q: Can an arbitrator deny a witness
Timur Akpinar's answer
Yes. Although arbitrators can follow the same rules of civil procedure and evidence observed in federal or state court, they generally have more leeway, based on the size and scope of the matter. The guidelines they follow generally tend to be less formal than traditional court rules. This is as a general matter. A Wisconsin attorney familiar with the particular arbitration forum could offer more specific guidance.
