Victims of injury due to the fault of another are entitled to recover compensation for their injuries, past and future medical expenses, past and future wage loss, and pain and suffering. The vast majority of personal injury claims are resolved through settlement or mediation. Those involved in the dispute, their insurance companies, and their lawyers typically work out a reasonable resolution, called a settlement, and reduce it to a written document. Both sides of the dispute agree not to take any further action, instead, resolving their respective claims for an agreed-upon sum of money.
