If you agree to a settlement sum that has been offered by the defendant or if the defendant agrees to a settlement offer your plaintiff injury lawyer has made, the settlement or finalisation of your claim can often be formalised on the spot. Here, documents consenting to judgment for the agreed compensation amount can often be prepared and signed at the Pre-Trial Conference. If this is not possible and additional documentation required the settlement can be completed by your plaintiff injury lawyer, the defendant lawyer and the District Court Registrar.
