So the rider won his lawsuit because the vet's insurance settled rather 
than go to court.  This is a part of the insurance industry that I fail 
to understand.  How can it be cheaper to settle out of court by paying 
anyone anything when the facts of the case show clearly that the person 
suing is the one at fault than it would be to defend the suit 
successfully and recover all suit related costs as part of the decision?

Perhaps someone in insurance can explain this.
