If I am offered a settlement, do I have to take it?
Many defendants in personal injury cases will try to avoid a trial by offering a certain amount of compensation, known as a settlement. The only person who can decide whether you will take that settlement is you. If you decide that it is not enough, you can turn it down. The defendant will either offer a larger settlement, or the case will go to trial.
