alreasy settled with one of two parties for a “substantial sum” and now an $85m verdict against the other party. Laughable.

As I read it, he settled with the bus operator for significantly less than the verdict in return for not having to fight the appeals. I don't think it was two different parties.

I thought It was two parties. If you settled, why would there be a jury verdict?

The article is very poorly written

The jury verdict was almost certainly going to be substantially reduced, either by the trial court or on appeal. It sounds like after losing the trial, they offered him a substantially less money which he accepted in lieu of trying to enforce the verdict and having to fight the appeals..

The article is very poorly written.
