It is never easy to make a decision like settling a case. Many factors come into play but a thing to be remembered is that choosing to settle is based on calculated risks and chances of winning litigation.

If you find yourself in a trial, you or your opponent may choose to offer other party to settle case before it reaches court. This discussion of case is “without prejudice” meaning that you are not bound by any agreement whatsoever if you change your mind prior to receiving money or before court is informed of your agreement.

If product was not yours, offer to purchase wrecked or malfunctioning article. It may not seem to be of use now, but obtaining evidence means you can keep an eye on it. If buying a product that has long served its purpose does not appeal to you, think of success it will bring to your case.
