You absolutely can settle at any time. Didn't mean to imply otherwise. I was responding to your statement of "go away" money. The jury has already spoken on the claim of wrong doing, so a small settlement is not an option now. A small award from the jury is always possible, but a small settlement is not IMO.

Juries are indeed unpredictable. But since the jury has already ruled on the question of wrong doing, it IS black and white. The amount of damages is the only remaining question.
