Should I sue the dealership if in the matter of 5 months, the car is junk and needs a new transmission and a new engine?

Your statement is confusing. A 14 year old car usually aint worth much. and is usually sold AS IS you say you had a 30 month warranty. Most dealers don't do that with old cars unless you pay extra for it. so why don't you exercise the warranty?if the 30 months have passed then know that you bought a piece of junk. you had your eyes open. You got a piece of junk. So what is the beef?

Do I have a case after I found a roach in a burger of the most popular burger chain?

Normally, I reccomend that everyone get a lawyer. However, since you were only mildly sick and did not need a dr, it would not be worth a lawyer's time. See if they offer you $1,500 and if they do, take it.

What does a settlement conference really mean?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
Good questions all. Actually, the phrase "settlement conference" is what it sounds like, the parties get together with the assigned judge to discuss the prospects of settling the case. What happens is a lot of talk between the lawyers and the judge. Very commonly, after some preliminary statements, the judge will send the defendant's lawyers out of the room and talk to the Plaintiff's lawyer and say something like "Okay, what would it really take to settle this case?" Then he will tell the lawyer that he probably will not be able to get that much, but if he could get the defendants up to "X" amount, would he take it. The lawyer will give a vague reply. Then the judge will send the plaintiff's lawyer out of the room and talk to the defendants lawyers and say something like "Okay guys, what can you come up with to settle this matter?" They will give him some number, he will tell them it's not enough, but he will see what he can do. Then he will send the defendants' lawyers out and bring the plaintiff's lawyer in again. He will tell the plaintiff's lawyer that this is a lousy case and they will be lucky to get anything, but maybe he will be able to get them something (say, 2/3) of what they are looking for. Then he will tell the defendant's attorneys that this is a serious case and they better get serious about it because if it goes to a jury they will smack them with an adverse verdict but good, but if they follow his recommendation, he will be able to get them out of it for less. Finally, he will bring both sides back in and tell them to split the difference. So that's what happens. As to how long it takes for the City of New York, sorry, I've never taken a case in NYC. As for trying to get out of the settlement: once there is a settlement, both sides must honor it, that's what settlements are all about. It may just be a matter of scheduling the conference. They may not want to settle, that happens a lot and no one is obligated to settle.
