Their actions say they were willing to pay the woman's medical bills regardless of how responsible they may have felt for the bills. To me the situation should have been left there and never gone to court.

The court should not have allowed this woman to railroad the girls and charge them for court costs when she just as well could have gotten the medical bills paid WITHOUT the court costs. Because of the woman's lack of cooperation with the girls I don't believe that she should have been awarded the money. It reflects an unforgiving, spiteful, and possibly greedy attitude. Why else would she have taken the girls to court when they were willing to make things right in the first place?
And INTENTIONS play a large part in our courts. The question of whether harm was INTENDED to a person can mean more to a judgement than what specific harm was done.
