Some cases may include an offer to settle, and then there is give and take between the amount of the demand and the defendant’s offer. Both sides try to determine whether they can reach common ground when settling a Hudson Valley stroke medical malpractice case.
Many stroke medical malpractice cases go to trial but settle at trial. After a week or two at trial, the defendant may want to see how strong the witnesses and experts are and whether the plaintiff is truly prepared to go trial. It is important to note that the plaintiff makes the decision to settle. The attorney representing the plaintiff is simply giving advice and making recommendations, but ultimately the plaintiff will decide.
