Wal-Mart settles out of court
all the time. I personally know one individual whose firm obtained a large settlement from WM out-of-court (motor vehicle accident involving a negligent WM semi driver)...and if you google WM and out-of-court, you'll get lots of hits.
Perhaps WM doesn't settle cases for nuisance value?
