A final settlement release is an agreement reached by the parties, usually in writing, settling all issues. Usually, there are elements of compromise, waiver of any right to re-open or appeal the matter even if there is information found later that would change matters (such as recurrence of a problem with an injury), the mutual release of any further claim by each party, a statement that neither side is admitting fault, and some action or payment by one or both sides. In short, the issue is over, provided the parties do what they are supposed to do according to the final settlement\u2019s terms.\u00a0 At all times prior to the execution of the release, System Risk Management recommends you contact your Member\u2019s respective <\/span>General Counsel contact<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to discuss further.\u00a0 A copy of the System\u2019s Final Settlement and release can be found online<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>on System General Counsel\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>

A general release\/waiver is a formal written statement relinquishing a right, requirement or waiver of liability.\u00a0 Generally, those presented a release must have adequate time to review the release and seek advice from counsel.\u00a0 If you wish to use a general waiver, please contact your Member\u2019s respective <\/span>General Counsel contact<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/b>to discuss further.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
