The cemetery for obvious reasons.
Then the guy who bought us the beer and whose car it was, but we let him off because his lawyers wanted to appeal the ruling I mentioned further, which we didn't want, and we could have only gotten a max of 50k out of them anyways.
Sorry, but I am still very confused.
Who settled with you when your lawyer took the $200K? Was that before everyone else went to trial?
I have never heard of letting someone off after he has been found liable just because he "wanted to appeal the ruling". You never go to the trouble of filing a suite in the first place if you are going to drop it when the other side appeals a loss.
The driver was found to be responsible, right? How old was he? What was the relationship between him and the owner of the car? How did he get possession of the car?
