What if I choose to settle with a claimant outside the PeopleClaim system?
You and the claimant are free to work out a settlement in any way that suits your needs. PeopleClaim provides an efficient online system for communicating and negotiating, but its full use is not required to settle a claim. However, in settling outside the system you will not have the benefit of the mutually endorsed PeopleClaim’s online Settlement Agreement, which documents the resolution. Note: If you reach settlement outside the system you will need to ask the claimant to be sure to return to the PeopleClaim.com Account Center and mark the claim settled. Without this step the claim will either post on the Registry or remain on the Registry.
