My lawyer emailed today...

Good news! Your case settled today at mediation. It will take about one month to get the paper work wrapped up, but there will be no trial. So, you don't have to keep those dates in December open. Once I get all the final paper work, I will send a copy to you. Give me a call if you have any questions. Otherwise, I will be in touch when everything is done.

Yipee! Yahoo! Hurray! Hallelujah! NO TRIAL!

However, a bit sad I don't get to experience the legal system one step further with minimal consequences to me. Oh well..

Guesses are currently being accepted as to the amount of $ my insurance company is shelling out to the old people. I was being sued for $50K each - comment your guess.
