To anyone who has been following the #gwynethpaltrowskicrashcase more closely than I have, can you explain to me:
Why the heck didn't this settle?
The plaintiff seeks $300K. Gwyneth can sell enough "Smells Like My Orgasm Candles" ($75) to cover that.

2/ More than 95% of civil cases settle.
@GwynethPaltrow is presumably (a) rich & (b) averse to bad publicity.
When a case does go to trial, there's usually a reason (e.g., grudge match, no middle ground, etc.).
Why this can't be solved for $300K (or less)?

3/ I can see @CecereCarl's point as to, say, large companies and patent trolls.
But I can't imagine Paltrow is sued THAT often (or any more often than a comparable celeb).
And it's undisputed that an accident did happen.

4/ Going to @howellsacto's point, do any insurance lawyers have thoughts?
Whose decision was it to go to trial?
Can the insured settle over the insurer's objection if willing to pay?
(I know nothing of these matters.)
