Oh, so that’s the usual policy. Thanks.

No worries. I was in the racket for years.

Did mostly insurance defense work. If I thought we had a loser, we would settle - unless the plaintiff demanded an outrageous amount in damages. Then we'd admit liability but contest damages (that worked remarkably well. Focus the jury on the issue.)

Kroger decided to cut its losses.
