They settle(under the old laws) because If they lose the lawsuit, they pay the claim, their own attorney, expert and other costs and most importantly they pay the insureds attorney who can/will charge 3-4X more than the insurance companies attorney. Was in the biz. Laws have changed and it will take years for this to work.
