What is a Settlement Agreement And Release Of Claims?

A settlement agreement and release of claims is a contract between a company and entity that provides a cash sum in exchange for legal claims being dropped. This legally-binding agreement is signed by both parties when a company offers a certain cash settlement and the other party accepts it. The release of claims portion ensures that in exchange for the cash settlement, companies won't have to worry about claimants bringing them back to court for the same issue.

The purpose of the settlement agreement and release of claims is to ensure that both parties agree to a fair resolution to a legal problem.

What type of attorney would I hire for a problem with a HVAC contractor that installed the wrong size of equipment.

I hired a HVAC company to install a new heating and cooling system to replace existing units. The problem is they installed undersized units

Dean F.

Answered Dec 9, 2022

A civil litigation attorney can help you resolve a dispute with an HVAC contractor. They typically will help you try to resolve the issue prior to filing suit. And if that does not resolve it, they are experienced in litigating matters in court.
