Well, today I got a call from my lawyer with excellent news: the other party has accepted an settlement offer from my insurance company, so the trial scheduled to begin tomorrow will not take place. I will not have to appear in court and there will not be a Public Record of a Satisfied Judgement. Drive safely of course, but especially never hit somebody with a relative who is a partner of a law firm!
Matt,
I work for a firm that represents insurance companies in legal disputes. That is very typical of what lawyers do - wait till the very last minute and then settle with the insurance company to avoid the expense & hassle of going to trial. Congratulations on your good news!
