  > Terrible case but how is $261 million dollars a valid amount for anything. You determine how much money the defendant has and devise an amount that will actually matter to them. >How do you even get to an astronomical figure like that when even the people that caused the financial crises of 2008 got charged a fraction of that. Completely irrelevant.

    Hmm.. this is not a company. A non profit hospital. Taking $261M from them is not hurting hospital management it is going to affect a lot of children who need the hospital and it's infrastructure Taking money proportionally from the government, city or hospital is not incentive to change . There are no shareholders who will hold management accountable . Voters or donors cannot influence administration easily .

  Punitive damages: $10M false imprisonment, $25M false imprisonment and battery, $15M to her dad Rest of damage calculation is between five and thirty million for each charge of either false imprisonment, battery or the sexual battery (unwanted hugging and kissing), medical negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress separately for Maya, her mother and family members, and for costing the family financially. I agree that large damages could have been calculated for some perpetrators of the financial crisis.
