Once the evidence for both special and general
damages has been agreed and fully disclosed both
parties can consider entering into settlement
negotiations.
Usually the employers insurers will make an
opening offer which may be broken down into the
two key areas of special & general damages or very
often a "global offer" will be made.
It
is up to your solicitor to advise you on the
suitability of any offer and you should always be
certain that your injuries have recovered (or
certainty has been reached regarding your
prognosis) before you settle the claim.
There is no second chance - once you settle, you
really do SETTLE.
