"A settlement is everytime a dirty and coward solution and means both have skeleton in their closet."

That's not true. Well, probably here it is, but not "everytime." I do a lot of employment law, for example, and can attest that large employers are often sued by disgruntled employees who fabricate outrageous stories to make false claims for discrimination, wrongful termination, etc. Many times, if the employer is unable to get a frivolous case dismissed at the summary judgment stage because there are factual disputes that will require discovery and/or trial to hammer out, they will just settle with the plaintiff for a few thousand (or even tens of thousands of) dollars rather than rack up $100k or more in legal fees to fight the charge, even if they are confident they would win on the merits and especially where recovering their attorneys' fees from the plaintiff would likely be all but impossible.
