You don't have to pay anything until a final judgment is entered.

Nothing is owed at pretrial

The pretrial hearing is just for your to either admit or deny the claim. You can mediate with the Plaintiff at that time or you can ask for a trial date. I suggest you ask to mediate and then see if you can reduce the amount owed. Some companies will work with you and reduce as they would rather get somethings rather than nothing.
