Legal Question in Mediation in California

Dear Mr. Kuhn, in regards to: �I recently went to mediation on an underinsured motorist personal injury case � � my attorney, the mediator and I had a very frank discussion during mediation on the meaning of �new money�. We agreed it meant �without credits for payments already made� and/or �a settlement �on top of� payments already made�; does not the meaning of �new money� weigh heavily in the outcome of this settlement?
