Webfeet and PB Settle

[Jeffski]

Congrats on getting this issue behind you!

Out of curiosity, how much do you think you lost by settling? I guess you figure additional attorney fees, time off work, stress, and risk of losing are all factors to figure into a settlement decision as well.

Sounds like you're happy with it so that's all that matters in my book.

I don't know what I could have gotten, but think we were going to ask for about $10,000. However, you can't get blood out of a turnip, as the old saying goes, so we figured that we would have gotten a judgement against the PB, but no money. Yes, we factored all the things you said, too.

Good point. Winning a judgment doesn't mean you'll get any money.

My brother rented a house to a couple that didn't pay him. He sued, then settled with them for half of what they owed. But then they still didn't pay and he had to go through collections to get the money. For him, in retrospect, he would have been better off not settling since he had to go through collections anyway and could have gotten the whole amount. He was too nice to be a landlord.
