What must settlement agreements contain according to West Virginia statute?

Settlement agreements in West Virginia must include standard language requirements as outlined by the statute. This ensures that the agreements are consistent, clear, and enforceable. These standard requirements typically specify key elements that need to be included to protect the rights of the parties involved, such as the scope of the settlement, the obligations of the parties, and the legal implications of the agreement. By adhering to these standard language requirements, the agreements can effectively serve their purpose in resolving disputes and providing mutual understanding between the parties without ambiguity.

While negotiation outcomes, details of medical treatments, and witness statements may be relevant in certain contexts, they are not mandatory components for all settlement agreements under West Virginia statute. The focus is primarily on ensuring that the language used is standardized to promote clarity and legality in the settlement process.
