injury settlement
Harm claim resolution
An injury settlement is a negotiated resolution to a personal injury claim, typically reached without going to trial.
The injured party agrees to accept a specified sum of money in exchange for releasing the at-fault party from further liability.
Most personal injury cases end in settlement rather than verdict: She accepted a $50,000 injury settlement from the insurance company.
The amount reflects factors like medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
