If not, they would in most cases have insurance to cover such an event.
Now the whole case is on the internet. If for some reason the dealership prevails, I can turn around and sue the plaintiff for slander.
I'm not judging anyone by these statements. If the plaintiff wins, they have the rest of their life to blast the dealership.
I stand-by my earlier statement in this case, past, and future. The best advice you will ever receive from an attorney is "STFU"

The main facts don't seem in dispute. The dealership had possession of the vehicle. An employee of the dealership damaged the vehicle. The dealership admits all this and fired the employee.
Is the judge going to care that there was some settlement negotiations? Because any potential slander is around statements made about the aftermath of the damage. The only thing before the judge would be applying liability law.
You are an attorney in what field?
