I’m not dead! I think I’ll go for a walk!
That said, this amount of claimed damages is a joke
A lifetime of care for a young lady brain damaged by either incompetent or malicious action will eat up that much money in a hurry.
It would be interesting to hear the rest of the story, but that would take an old style journalist to dig out.
Niot enough. No amount would make me happy after that!
I have long thought that damages in this type of case should be calculated by a simple formula:
Cost of current medical bills as a result of the injury
Cost of future medical bills treatmetns (estimated)
Loss of wages
equal amount of lost wages for pain and suffering
Plus 3x the amount of life insurance held by the victim if the victim dies or is permanently unable to work
Cost of legal and court fees
x1 - if accidental
x2 - by malfeasance
x3 - if intentional and/or attempts to hide liability
