Question:

The plaintiff, Dennis Rubel, was permanently injured while working at Lowe’s Home Center Inc., and hired Michael Dzienny to represent him in a personal injury lawsuit. When discussing a settlement with Lowe’s, Rubel instructed Dzienny to “get the best he could get on this case.” Dzienny then settled Rubel’s case for \($21,000\) in exchange for Rubel’s release of all claims against Lowe’s. Rubel then stated that he never, expressly or impliedly, authorized Dzienny to accept a settlement on his behalf or to accept \($21,000\) as settlement of his claims against Lowe’s. Is Rubel bound by the settlement Dzienny negotiated? Why or why not?
