I do believe that she probably deserved and need something, probably medical bills plus, say, 20k for pain and suffering. Quite a bit more if she was young enough(20-30s) and it affected her ability to have children(which I'm just not seeing). But not necessarily a retirement. |

The funny thing to me is you made a statement about the damages not being very punitive - a little bit of circular reasoning in an argument about the damages being too high.

Ok, I am now officially sorry that I ever brought this particular case up. My apologies to all those who had to take time to correct me. There may be good reasons for tort reform but this case certainly isn't the best one to pick to illustrate them. |
