Tips for getting a large Structured Settlement

When you are in an accident, you want to make certain
that you can get the biggest settlement that you can
get. So here are some tips so that you can get a large
structured settlement.

1. Make sure the evidence at the scene is secure

You want to make sure that, without a doubt, the
company knows that you are not at fault. So you want
to make sure that everything is as it was in the
accident.

2. Don’t make assumptions about injuries

Many injuries don’t show up until later, so you don’t
want to assume that you aren’t injured.

3. Keep up to date with appointments

Go to see a doctor, even if you don’t feel injured,
and make sure to keep your appointments. If you don’t
go to the doctor, then it will be harder to explain to
the insurance company that you are really hurt.

4. Keep track of lost wages

Make certain that you have doctor’s notes for days
that you have missed after the accident and keep track
of what you have lost in your wages.

5. Don’t start low in negotiations

One of the rules of thumb is that the insurance
company won’t ever go higher, but they will come down.
So don’t start at the lowest amount you’ll settle for,
but start higher. This way you have negotiating power
without losing anything.

These are just a few of the things to remember when
you have been in an accident and are expecting a
settlement. If you remember these tips, they will help
you to get a larger settlement from the insurance
company.
