STATUS OF SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS
The parties have had two sessions of mediation with a mediator from ADR Services. Plaintiff’s lowest demand was $500,000.00,: Defendant’s highest offer was $50,000.00.
Defendant Brown is covered by a $500,000.00 automobile insurance policy. Plaintiff had tendered a statutory offer to settle for the policy limits back in September 4, 2008. In turn, Mr. Brown tendered a statutory offer to settle for $50,000.00.
Plaintiff next tendered a statutory offer to settle for $250,000.00 on December 4, 2008. That offer has expired and in light of the significant ongoing difficulties plaintiff has suffered, her demand was once again for the full policy limits. That renewed offer to settle for the policy limits has expired.
