A man got 2.7 million when a McDonalds employee spilled hot coffee on him!
And your telling me shooting at a family isn’t worse than that?
It was a woman. She sustained actual injuries; these people fortunately escaped injury. There’s a flaw in the jury system. I think that was a run away jury, and I would not have awarded a verdict of that size. There’s no mathematical formula to calculate what appropriate damages in this case would be, but you can draw rough comparisons, and a quarter million sounds about right
But remember what I said: if the law there is similar to CA, then the employer has no liability at all. That has a serious drag on the settlement value of the case, since PR is the only reason why the employer will offer anything at all
