What is a Personal Injury Settlement?
Personal injury disputes may be resolved through informal settlement between the parties involved. Personal injury lawyers can negotiate settlements for the injured party with the person or organization felt to be at fault for the accident or injury. At the end of the negotiations, both parties may agree not to pursue legal action concerning the matter at hand, and state that they will resolve the matter through payment of an agreed-upon amount to the injured person. This agreed-upon amount is a personal injury settlement.
