Insurance Benefits & Settlements

The amount of compensation an injury victim is entitled to receive depends on the type and extent of his or her losses. Most settlements include provisions for medical care, lost wages and property damage.

If you have severe injuries that will require extensive long-term care, you receive a large settlement that provides structured payments that you receive over a period of several months or years. If your injury is not expected to require long-term care, you may receive a lump-sum payment that covers your medical care, property damage and any other losses that were included in your settlement.

Having an experienced attorney representing you in these cases is absolutely essential. Do not attempt to negotiate with the insurance companies on your own. They take advantage of vulnerable victims and attempt to sell you a low-ball offer that often fails to cover your current expenses and limits your access to future care. When you hire our firm, we work to ensure that all your current and future needs are considered.
