Compensatory Damages: Final Steps to Getting Your
Money...
Getting your
hands on your compensatory damages is the easy part.
You’re
through the tough spots of your settlement negotiations.
Now all
you have to do is get your check.
Hopefully everything will
be easy from here on out, but there are still a few problems you might
have to face.
Before you can get your injury
settlement
compensation, you'll have to fill out a few forms. These are
fairly
standard, but should be looked at very carefully. You don’t want to
sign anything that can hurt you in the future.
Going forward,
the main concerns about your settlement have to do with the money
itself. You don’t always
get to keep all of it.
If you weren’t the one
who paid all of the bills, then you may be required to pay someone
back. After that, especially on larger settlements, you'll want to look
into any taxes that may apply to your compensation money.
