What if my settlement includes both physical and emotional injury claims?

What if my settlement includes both physical and emotional injury claims?

Georgia personal injury attorneys routinely handle “mixed” settlements. The allocation in your settlement agreement matters enormously. Amounts specifically allocated to physical injury are tax-free. Amounts allocated to stand-alone emotional distress claims (not caused by physical injury) are taxable. HBLG’s attorneys carefully structure settlement agreements to maximize the tax-free allocation to physical injury, protecting our clients’ net recovery.
