I wonder what is the reasoning behind this.
- kazinator 7y agoThe reasoning is probably that individuals have individual problems that are in addition to being evacuees from the disaster. Problem is, you can't separate that from the disaster. Problems combine. If you have two problems A and B in your life, the impact isn't simply A + B. It could be as much as A x B. If B is the fault of someone who caused an accident, there should be some room to go after more than just B-sized compensation. But, anyway, this seems to illustrate the court system at work. It's not simply the case that one side gets everything that they want. That's why you have to sue for more than you're willing to settle for; ask for a pie in the sky, settle for a muffin.
