California  |  Mediation

Dear Mr. Kuhn, in regards to: “I recently went to mediation on an underinsured motorist personal injury case … ” my attorney, the mediator and I had a very frank discussion during mediation on the meaning of “new money”. We agreed it meant “without credits for payments already made” and/or “a settlement “on top of” payments already made”; does not the meaning of “new money” weigh heavily in the outcome of this settlement?
