The credibility of the litigants is critical to deciding whether or not you’re willing to roll the dice on going to court. I was involved in a personal injury lawsuit against a national retailer. They settled because I was too good of a plaintiff. I was honest, forthright, likable. It also didn’t hurt that it was filed in Philly which is the personal injury trial capital of the US (great for plaintiffs). The defendants’ lawyers (or the insurance company’s lawyers) flat out told me they appreciated my honesty when we were signing everything. Translation: had I been a little sketchy, they may have rolled the dice. They offered me a six figure settlement. I probably could have gotten more going to court but who knows? I wanted it to be done after two years of it. My point is that he’s already proven in a formal investigation that he lied. Those violations were part of UConn’s cause and then he lied about it. He’s not a credible witness already and it’s on record. UConn’s lawyers will be more than willing to roll the dice and NOT settle. His honesty will be torn to shreds in court. His biggest mistake wasn’t the violations, but the coverup. Isn’t it always? [/QUOTE]
