A: A settlement is an agreement between the parties involved in a case to resolve the matter without going to trial. Typically, the defendant or their insurance company will offer a certain amount of money to compensate the plaintiff for their damages. A trial verdict, on the other hand, is the result of a trial in court where a judge or jury decides the outcome of the case. In a trial, the injured party must prove their case and the defendant has the opportunity to present their defense. The judge or jury will then make a decision on the outcome, which could result in a larger or smaller award than what was offered in a settlement.
