Not every injury results in a settlement offer from the insurance company or negligent party.  Nicholson Law Firm has experience negotiating appropriate settlements on behalf of our clients, and litigating cases whenever necessary.  As Dallas, Georgia personal injury attorneys, we fight to ensure that the negligent parties justly compensate you for your injury damages.

Factors considered in personal injury settlements

Insurance adjusters consider the following factors when determining an average injury settlement:

If the amount of a personal injury settlement is more than $10,000, victims may choose to set up structured payments instead of accepting one lump sum amount.  We can explain the tax benefits of accepting scheduled payments.

When an injury victim accepts a personal injury settlement, the insurance company usually requires the injured party to sign a waiver.  This means the injured party forfeits their right to file a lawsuit later if they suffer further economic hardship.  As such, it is very important that the future implications of the injury be accurately estimated when discussing a settlement amount.
