        "text": "Yes, many wrongful death claims are resolved through out-of-court settlements. This often occurs during negotiations directly with the at-fault party's insurance company or through formal mediation sessions. Settlements can provide a faster resolution and avoid the uncertainties and stresses of a trial. Your attorney will advise you on whether a settlement offer is fair and in your best interest, balancing the potential risks and rewards of litigation versus settlement.",
