In Sourifman vs. Amie Cab Corp, Supreme Court New York County the jury awarded the plaintiff only $8,000 on past pain and suffering and only $5,000 on future pain and suffering for a fractured jaw that had to be reset.
On post-trial motions Justice Kibbie Payne set aside the verdict and ordered a new trial unless defendant would stipulate to $65,000 for past pain and $20,000 for future. While Judge Payne's numbers are still somewhat conservative, he did his best to correct an"injustice" which had occurred.
Your thoughts?
