Are Settlement Negotiations Confidential?

Confidentiality of Personal Injury Settlement Negotiations

Our experienced personal injury attorney, Paul Meissner, discusses the confidentiality of personal injury settlement negotiations.

Typically, personal injury settlement negotiations are confidential. When negations occur, personal injury attorneys will generally indicate in writing that conversations in regards to settlements are to remain confidential and won’t be admissible at trial. The purpose of that is so both parties can participate in a give and take honest discussion of what they believe the claim is worth without concern of their words coming back to haunt them in front of a jury if the case does not settle.
