As a lawyer, I can say YES YES YES! It's great! I am not even going to evaluate the legal theory behind it (LOL) - I am just thrilled with the ruling. I worked over a year for a plaintiff's firm until I was forced to quit over an ethics situation, and I can't believe the vipers that make up the trial lawyers. (as a generalization, of course.)
I am now begging for a job and nearly broke, but not sorry I quit.
Just reading as a citizen, the judgement seems to be against cruel and unusual compensation, so I suppose it's good? Punitives still look huge, and this case hinges on that "mental anguish" caterwauling, which is pain and suffering, and not addressed.
I still look for everyone's premiums to increase, and the dishonest to prosper over the honest. At some point, we're all going to be uninsured. Then the lawyers won't love any of us anymore...
You'd think that the "golden goose" story could persuade some of them to slow down on their gorging.
If there are no limits, there will shortly be no insurance.
I hope you find good work, soon.
