On March 21, 2025, the California Supreme Court rendered a decision in Madrigal, et al v. Hyundai Motor America (S280598) regarding the following question: “Does a plaintiff who has rejected a 998 offer or allowed it to be deemed withdrawn for want of timely acceptance, but later agrees to settle before trial, necessarily avoid the postoffer cost-shifting effects of section 998?” The Supreme Court held that a plaintiff does not necessarily avoid section 998’s cost-shifting effects.
