What Is The Difference Between A Settlement And A Verdict?

Most claims are resolved through settlement, with about 98% of them being settled outside of court. A bench trial, on the other hand, involves a judge or jury hearing all the evidence and determining the monetary damages to be awarded. In a settlement, the parties involved, including the insurance company, work out the resolution directly.
