Does this mean she'll have to go to court now?

-An acquaintance was injured in 2007 while on the job. Because of this, she is restricted in what she's capable of doing. She's been warned not to be doing things that may indicate she's active in seeking income. Of course this could impact her settlement. Last year, she attended a week-long course out in the Western part of the country. This involved a 4-hour flight each way...& she was there for the whole week. Apparently, a few months ago, she attempted to return to work for 2-half days per week, but it was too painful for her to sit. I find this extremely suspicious given the fact that she did that flying last September, AND as recently as 2 weeks ago, sat in a vehicle for 2hrs both ways. A few days ago, she attending a mediation meeting. In that meeting neither side was able to come to an agreement. The Insurance Company representing the person who hit her said they would NOT agree to the amount being seeked. So, the talks broke off.

What I'm wondering now is...will they have to go to court? Is is possible the Insurance Company representing the person who hit her might know of the trip out West or anything else. Could it be they think the amount being seeked is extravagant? How does this work now?

Sorry to be so lengthy, but I needed to provide as much detail so it would be understood what I was asking about.This is in Ontario, Canada.

By the way, this person is around large animals (horses) several times per week. THAT in itself is risky considering her 'condition'.Obviously the insurance company thinks her demands are too excessive or that her injury is not as severe as she is saying. They may have discovery information showing that she can do more than she claims. Subrosa is admissable in a court of law. If they do not settle, the case will proceed to trial.
