FAQ-Settlement

Can I settle my case out of court?

Answer: A claim can be settled at any time, including before the suit is filed after the suit is filed, and before trial. Suits and claims can also be settled during or after trial. Statistically, most cases settle before trial and few ever go to trial. Many cases settle during a process called mediation. Mediation is an informal procedure where all parties and their lawyers meet in a conference room to attempt to negotiate a settlement. While neither party is required to settle their case in mediation, many end up doing so upon presenting arguments by both sides and fully evaluating their case. Despite Farraher Law’s extensive trial skills, trials are expensive and can produce inconsistent results. Therefore, if it is possible, Farraher Law strives to reach successful settlements for its client through mediation, arbitration and informal negotiation.
