My prayers still go out for this tragedy.
I have no problem for parents trying to get "some" type of reimbursement for medical costs and continuation of " way of life" for this young man.
Let's say after medical insurance they have to pay $50,000 out of pocket for the next 40 years. Making him 58 years old. That's $2,000,000.
Way of life, let's say he would have had a job making $75,000 for 40 years. That's $3,000,000.
Home improvements for handicapped $100,000.
Handicapped van $50,000.
I'll even go $1,000,000 for pain and suffering.
That's $6,150,000.
What I don't like to see is people profit from these types of lawsuits. I don't want to see dad driving around in a new Hummer, mom a Lexus, sister a Viper. Designer clother and jewelry. Lavish vacations, while the young man is home bound with a nurse.
"but this settlement provides them with some relief and comfort that Steven will get the care he needs for the rest of his life," said the family's attorney. This should be the whole basis for a lawsuit.
So, you believe it is okay to arbitrarily hold someone responsible for something they are not? You want to know why the bat company was the target and NOT the team or player who hit the ball?
