How can I maximize my compensation?

A law firm with experience handling personal injury settlements can maximize your ability to receive fair compensation for your injuries.  Nicholson Law Firm has spent more than 25 years providing clients with quality representation and has experience both negotiating and litigating cases.

In some cases, negotiations successfully address client damages.  However, when a personal injury settlement does not address your economic and non-economic losses, we bring your case before a judge and jury to request adequate compensation.  Whatever the case may be, our Canton personal injury lawyers evaluate your damages and advise you on how to proceed.

What do insurance companies use to determine injury settlement amounts?

Insurance companies and negligent parties use the details of your unique situation to determine an adequate settlement amount.  Some relevant factors include the following:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Lost ability to perform certain tasks
  • Lost wages
  • Lost consortium
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

How do I collect my personal injury settlement?

You can collect a personal injury settlement through one lump sum payment or through structured payments.  In a lump sum payment, you receive a single large payment, minus taxes and attorney fees.  However, the tax implications on these payments can be significant.  Allow us to inform you of the advantages and disadvantages of accepting a lump sum payment.

Structured payments allow recipients of personal injury settlements to collect payments over a period of several years.  Depending on your medical bills and other factors, these payments may not cover your immediate needs.  You should consider your options carefully, and get advice for Nicholson Law Firm if you are unsure which payment method best suits your specific situation.
