Search Results - Settlement (law)

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

In law there are several main meanings of the word settlement. The most common meaning refers to when the parties to a dispute (both disputes that are being litigated before the courts, and disputes where court action has not been started) reach an agreement as to the case, which is said to 'settle' the claim.

A settlement, as well as dealing with the dispute between the parties is a contract between those parties, and is one possible (and common) result when parties sue (or contemplate so doing) each other in civil proceedings. The plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) identified in the lawsuit can end the dispute between themselves without a trial[1]. Justice is not a central issue here, merely power often one party has little option but to submit to the will of the other.[citation needed]

The contract is based upon the bargain that a party foregoes its ability to sue (if it has not sued already), or to continue with the claim (if the plaintiff has sued), in return for the certainty written into the settlement. The courts will enforce the settlement if it is breached, the party in default could be sued for breach of that contract. In some jurisdictions, the party in default could also face the original action being restored.

The settlement of the lawsuit defines legal requirements of the parties, and is often put in force by an order of the court after a joint stipulation by the parties. In other situations (as where the claims have been satisfied by the payment of a certain sum of money) the plaintiff and defendant can simply file a notice that the case has been dismissed.

November 19, 2009

SMALL LAW FIRM VS. LARGE LAW FIRM The size of the law firm has absolutely nothing to do with how well that office will represent you and or handle your case. A large law firm 10 or more names on their letterhead will not impress an insurance adjuster into giving you a better settlement. On the contrary, adjusters who have been around, know that huge law offices have multi million dollar clients with mind boggling legal problems. Because of this those types of law firms often do not put the time nor concern into a several thousand dollar personal injury case that a small office would. The botto... (read more)

Life-threatening mesothelioma is directly related to asbestos exposure. Asbestos was used for many years in construction and manufacturing because of its flame retardant qualities.
