Discovery involves obtaining medical records, prescription data, and communications from manufacturers or pharmacies. Evidence may include adverse event reports, internal warnings, and professional testimony that supports the claim of liability and the potential for a valid settlement.
Settlement refers to an agreement reached outside court about compensation and remedies. Resolution describes how disputes are settled, or how a case moves through litigation if a settlement cannot be reached, with the goal of delivering fair outcomes while minimizing further stress.
