Three insurance companies representing the drivers of C1, C2 and C3 were alleging that the driver of C4 was speeding (40 miles over the posted speed limit) when it collided with C3. The driver of C3 was killed instantly, the driver of C2 was still in the hospital with very serious injuries and the driver of C1 was admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks following this incident. Medical claims for the driver of C2 exceeded $1,000,000. Insurance Company (IC) called a meeting to discuss the case since it was the insurer of the driver of C4.
