Can we still settle during trial?

Yes—settlement can occur at any point, even during trial. It's not uncommon for cases to settle after jury selection, during testimony, or even while the jury is deliberating. As trial progresses and both sides see how evidence is being received, settlement positions often shift. A strong opening statement or effective cross-examination can motivate the defense to increase their offer. At Kane Trial Law, we remain open to fair settlement offers throughout trial while continuing to present the strongest possible case to the jury.
