But in other cases, plaintiffs may want to avoid trial and can obtain the results they want without having to wait until the end of a trial. In Illinois, a plaintiff can dismiss a claim against a defendant and resolve the case through an agreed-upon settlement. In some cases with multiple defendants, a plaintiff may be able to obtain a settlement against one defendant and proceed to trial against the others. Some settlements require court approval, while others require only the agreement of the parties involved.<\/p>\n<p>If a plaintiff agrees to a settlement, the circuit court retains jurisdiction for at least 30\u00a0days over any motion seeking relief from the judgment. For example, a party can return during that time to enforce a settlement or to try to void the settlement, due to fraud or duress. After this time, the court has more limited jurisdiction over the case, but it may be able to decide certain issues related to the judgment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Woman Injured by Discus at School Track Meet Obtains\u00a0$350,000 Settlement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An 83-year-old woman and her husband were attending a high school track meet when the woman was hit by a student\u2019s discus.
