Should I Settle?

When a case goes to court, the parties involved are permitted to resolve their legal battle through an out-of-court settlement. This often comes with a fixed sum for compensation that must be accepted by both parties. If an individual decides to settle his or her claim, the case is closed permanently. Once a person takes a compensation settlement, they typically cannot press for a court award at a later date.

Deciding whether to agree to a settlement can prove a difficult decision for a claimant. For the legal advice and support you deserve, contact the Depakote attorneys of Williams Hart by calling 800-761-3187 today. We can help you better understand how a settlement may affect your individual case.
