Personal injury settlements are generally not taxable under federal law, particularly as compensation for physical injuries or illness. This means that compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, or lost wages related to your injury is typically tax-free. However, certain portions of a settlement, such as those for emotional distress or punitive damages, may be subject to taxes. At DTLA Law Group, we can help clarify these details and connect you with tax professionals if needed to ensure you fully understand any tax implications related to your case and maximize your net compensation.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is an insurance coverage that helps pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket costs related to an accident, regardless of who was at fault. It’s designed to provide immediate financial support for essential needs like hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and even necessary household services or transportation expenses. In some cases, PIP can also offer compensation for funeral expenses. At DTLA Law Group, we guide clients on how to maximize their PIP benefits and explore additional avenues for compensation if injuries extend beyond what PIP covers.

Filing a personal injury claim involves several steps, beginning with reporting the incident to the appropriate parties, such as law enforcement or a property owner.
