New York's Underutilization of Offer to Compromise in Litigation Highlighted
In New York, the Offer to Compromise is a legal tool that remains underutilized compared to its frequent use in other states like California, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. This tool, often employed by plaintiffs' counsel in these states, is primarily used by defendants in New York. The Offer to Compromise can significantly influence the negotiation process in litigation, encouraging both parties to reach a resolution. Despite its potential to alter negotiation dynamics, its application in New York is rare, which is notable given its effectiveness in other jurisdictions.
