    I have no quarrel with awarding damages to this couple, but I have to wonder if $36.5 Mil is too much. Pay for medical bills? Yes. Pay for cost to renovate home to allow for wheelchair and other medical apparatus? Yes. Pay for lost wages? Yes. But is $36.5 Million really needed? I think not. Our county cannot survive if we continue to hand out excessive monetary awards like this.

    Ruminator,
    I could not agree with you more. When will the juries wake up and realize that the cost of these awards will be paid by all of us?
