Settlement of personal injury case
Settlement of your personal injury case
There comes a point in your personal injury case where there is no improvement in terms of recovery, but there's also no deterioration to be expected, this is called a medical end situation.
At this time we can work towards a conclusion of your personal injury case. For example, you will receive a final amount to settle your personal injury case. This is called an amicable settlement. Making such an arrangement is common in personal injury cases and offers benefits to both parties. It is important to assess whether the amount offered to you does justice to your damage.
Insurers often want to get rid of the case and try to get the victim to agree to a (relatively) low amount. This often does not take into account any damage that could occur in the future if your injury worsens.
​
A personal injury case is very complex and can sometimes take years. You didn't ask for this.
The discussion between insurers and lawyers to obtain the best possible compensation also requires a lot of energy from you. An amicable settlement can sometimes be a nice solution.
Your personal injury case will only be settled if you are ready for it. Once you have fully recovered, there is usually no discussion and a settlement in your case can take place quickly.
What happens in the event of serious injury?
It may also happen that you do not fully recover from your injuries. But when there is a 'medical end situation', you can work towards a settlement in your personal injury case. Your recovery has then reached a point where neither improvement nor deterioration can be expected anymore. Your situation can then be called 'stable'. A medical specialist can then provide clarity about your permanent complaints and limitations. These lasting complaints can be taken into account at the end of your personal injury case when calculating the amount of damages attributable to you. â–
