The settlement is ridiculous though.
It was a fender bender that caused only $300 damage and no significant injuries occurred to the driver yet she got the following in damages:
a. non-pecuniary damages - $85,000;
b. loss of future income - $100,000;
c. cost of future care - $38,452.38;
d. special damages - $15,286.66.
Over $200k in damages for that type of accident. That is crazy. I was in a bad accident last year and the damages I received were probably not sufficient due to the soft tissue cap, but even I can see that this is crazy.
Motor Vehicle Lottery winner is making light of the situation but hell with over $200k in damages with no major injuries that isn't far off.
