When a claim cannot be resolved through negotiation, the typical next step is to pursue court proceedings. This avenue becomes necessary when the parties involved are unable to agree on the terms of the claim despite attempts to negotiate a settlement. Court proceedings allow an impartial third party, usually a judge or jury, to make a determination about the validity of the claim and any compensation owed.

In this context, arbitration may seem like a viable option since it's an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. However, arbitration usually occurs prior to court proceedings and often requires agreement between both parties to use this method. If negotiation fails and arbitration is not agreed upon or applicable, proceeding to court becomes the logical next step.

Settlement offers may be made at various stages of the process, including during or after negotiations, but they are not a direct next step if negotiations have already been deemed unsuccessful. Rescinding the claim would indicate a withdrawal, which is not a standard procedural next step if further action is anticipated. Thus, pursuing court proceedings is the most fitting response when negotiations break down.
