Just because the judge and jury awarded $55mm, doesn’t mean that the hotel will pay it. Remember the old woman who spilled hot coffee on her lady parts sued McDonalds. Well McDonald never paid and was secretly settled.
Agree.
51% of the award is from the perp. I’d guess he’s a broke loser.
The 49% probably gets reset to something like a couple mil on appeal.
“Well McDonald never paid and was secretly settled.”
If it was settled, secretly or not, McDonalds paid the settlement.
