Re: [RC] re: recruiting vets - Lysane CreeBecause of the cost of experts and proving your case, even if you are right, is downright expensive and given all the other motions and delays the other side can throw at you, they probably calculated that it was cheaper to settle. It's not right, but it's reality.

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. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
