Offer of Judgment. (a) Making an Offer; Judgment on an Accepted Offer. At least 14 days before the date set for trial, a party defending against a claim may serve on an opposing party an offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the costs then accrued.
An Offer of Judgment is a formal settlement proposal made by a defendant after a lawsuit has been filed, but prior to trial, offering to settle the claim underlying the action and to stipulate to a judgment for a specific amount of money.
Class action litigation can impose burdens and setbacks for the named plaintiff and the other class members. For example, the litigation process can be lengthy. Also, due to the large number of plaintiffs, each member of the group could receive a smaller individual payout.
If the court finds nonpayment is willful after consideration of the defendants situation, means, and conduct with regard to the nonpayment, the court shall determine the period of incarceration, if any, subject to the limitations set by law and subsection (3) of this section.
If the offer is rejected, the case will move forward with one major caveat: if the plaintiff obtains a final judgment that is less favorable than the rejected offer, the plaintiff must pay all of the defendants costs incurred after the offer was made.

At any time more than fifteen days before the trial begins, a party defending against a claim may serve upon the adverse party an offer to allow judgment to be taken against him for the money or property or to the effect specified in his offer, with costs then accrued.
An out of court settlement is always preferable to a trial. A settlement provides certainty, and is the most economical way to end a case. It costs a lot to take a case to trial, and, even if you have strong evidence, the result cannot be guaranteed.
