All that money means they get to hire the best lawyers too.
You're right my post was written as if it had been a court decision, but Ford settling out of court has the same effect as Ford accepting liability for the deaths. Their high-paid lawyers undoubtedly saw the writing on the wall and pointed to the least expensive way out.
Ford settled = Ford lost.
Ford settled = drunk driver irrelevant because the women survived the initial impact.
Ford settled = Meford's argument without merit.
