    Settlements are always necessarily dispositive of the truth. Sometimes it makes sense to just pay a settlement fee than to go through litigation if you expect your attorney fees to be greater than the settlement cost. Also it’s not uncommon for settlements agreements to not confirm allegations so as to not benefit future cases against the defendant.
