In law, a settlement is a resolution between disputing parties about a legal case, reached either before or after court action begins. The term "settlement" also has other meanings in the context of law. Structured settlements provide for a periodic payment.
A settlement, as well as dealing with the dispute between the parties is a contract between those parties, and is one possible (and common) result when parties sue (or contemplate so doing) each other in civil proceedings. The plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) identified in the lawsuit can end the dispute between themselves without a trial.
The contract is based upon the bargain that a party forgoes its ability to sue (if it has not sued already), or to continue with the claim (if the plaintiff has sued), in return for the certainty written into the settlement. The courts will enforce the settlement: if it is breached, the party in default could be sued for breach of that contract. In some jurisdictions, the party in default could also face the original action being restored.

New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.

The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute.

New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

Mike Hugo is a lawyer practicing in Framingham, Mass. His very first case coming out of law school in 1984 was for a child who was injured by a DTP vaccination. He battled Wyeth, Lilly, Lederle, (now Pfizer) and Merck in over 300 cases. The settlement of one of his cases triggered the replacement of the whole-cell DTP with today's DTaP vaccine. He is a member of the original group of five lawyers that were known as the Advocates for a Safer Vaccine, who won and settled so many civil suits that the vaccine manufacturers ran for cover of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Mike worked with the firm Schlictmann Conway Crowley & Hugo, which is now the Conway Chin-Caplan & Homer firm. Sylvia Chin-Caplan and Ron Homer, who are among the most active vaccine lawyers, were his paralegals. Tha...
