Cat bites can be very nasty. My sister in law was bit in the face while she worked for a vet. She lost some use of a facial muscle and had to have plastic surgery for the scar. It became infected and I know the vet got sued and she got a good amount of money. I carry homeowners insurance in case one of my animals bites a person. If the medical bills were that high how else was the guy to pay them? I have a loving Siamese cat although he does like to jump out at you.

Jury verdicts can be ridiculously excessive, but the insurance company should have paid the guy's meds if he was injured on her insured property.
Was the cat the vets cat? Why did she sue him/her? Didn't she have her own insurance? I would think that vets make their employees sign waivers.
