Offer of judgment
The Offer of Judgment rule is a tort reform law aimed at controlling unnecessary litigation. Under this rule, if a settlement offer is made in a tort claim for money, the offer is rejected and the final court decision is less favorable than the final offer that was made, then the party who rejected the offer may have to pay the other party for attorney’s fees and costs.
