 in my experience  they will sue you anyway to see if the insurance will pay
off.  since most suits settle (due to the insurance policy typically having
a lot more money than you do; if they dont pay why go forward with the suit
if YOU dont have the cash to make it worthwhile), once the insurance company
pays off the suit goes away.

so if you went further than that in the court system, they must have felt
that 1) you were at fault (otherwise why push it forward) and 2) you had the
ability somehow to pay off the lawyers (or the client just wanted to punish
you because you did something so bad as to deserve the pain and had the
money to pay the lawyers to pursue it; not likely these days).
 Not likely a suit would continue unless there was a chance of a payout.  So
perhaps that is why you were bored.

Screw up with me and i guarantee you it wont be boring.


and if you were "held liable for injuries, damages" etc. as you said below,
tell us, what did you do to deserve it?  must have been pretty bad to be
actually HELD liable, since most cases settle.  Want to tell us about it?
