What does it mean to settle a case
Settling a case means that you agree to accept money in return for dropping
your action against the person who injured you. You'll actually sign a release absolving
the other side of any further liability. To help you decide whether to accept the settlement
offer, your lawyer will be able to provide a realistic assessment of whether a lawsuit based
on your claim will be successful. (Settlement also can take place at any point in a lawsuit
once it is filed, including before trial or even after a case has been tried but before a jury
reaches a verdict.) The decision to accept a settlement offer is yours, not the lawyer's.
