Let's put it this way. If you had died in that wreck, he'd be rotting in prison. Because you lived he gets to walk free and clear?
And, he's done this before? Fuck him! He doesn't want this to go to trial becasue he doesn't want the media getting a hold of it. He doesn't want it to effect his reputation.
Has he lost his drivers license? Is he facing ANY criminal charges for DUI/DWI? How about wreckless endangerment?
If you've got the time and patience, I'd refuse to settle and take it to court just so the media can pick up on it and so criminal charges can be added.
And if you do settle to avoid the headache of a trial, get everything you can.
