I asume that you are negotiating your own settlement. The fact is that your negotiations can take several rounds before achieving a settlement that you want and deserve. With adequate preparation, some reasonable negotiation and patience, you will be able to successfully work through any disputes and obtain the settlement you need. The most improtant thing in this regard is knowing how to correctly value your claim.
