The plaintiffs and defendant in a motor vehicle accident action reached a settlement at mediation, subject to the plaintiff in a companion action agreeing to limit her claim to the remaining policy limits.
Counsel for the plaintiff in the companion action failed to attend the case conference despite a previous endorsement directing her to do so.
The court adjourned the case conference and ordered counsel for the plaintiff in the companion action to attend the next date to address the status of her action, document production, the cause of her client's death, and whether she will limit her damages to the remaining policy limits.
