Most employment law cases settle before trial. However, some cases require litigation to achieve a fair result. Understanding the trade-offs between settlement and trial is essential for making an informed decision about your case.
A negotiated resolution where both parties agree on compensation outside of court. Faster, private, guaranteed outcome, and lower legal costs. Typically confidential and avoids the stress of trial.
A public court proceeding where a judge or jury decides the outcome. Potentially higher recovery but also risk of zero recovery. Time-consuming, stressful, and unpredictable.
Consider the strength of your evidence, the potential recovery amount, the emotional toll of litigation, your financial needs timeline, and whether you want a public record of the wrongdoing.
Many employment cases include mandatory mediation before trial. A neutral third party helps facilitate settlement discussions. Even if mediation fails, parties often settle before the trial date.
