What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
I fell in March of 2008 at a local restaurant. There was a uneven sidewalk that I fell over and I hit a stone wall and broke my humerus in my left arm. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I was sent home for 6 days to let the swelling go down. I then had surgery to place a plate and screws in. I could not lift my hand at all so I had a nerve test. It was determined that I had severe nreve damage. That has gotten better but around my wrist is still numb. I also have a 7 inch scar going up my arm. It starts at the bend of my arm and goes almost to my shoulder. My arm still hurts daily and I can't lift over about 5 pounds. My medical bills were about $16,000 dollars and I had about $7500 in lost wages. I know that it is hard to estimate what pain and suffering is worth but I would at least like to get an estimate from someone who has experienced something similar. I also would like to know what my scar is worth as I can't even wear short sleeves anymore without it being very noticeable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
