Unless there are punitive damages from the lawsuit, then that's not a penalty for Amazon. They are just paying what they owe for killing a guy. They might conclude it's worth cutting corners and killing someone every now and then, "cost of doing business".
Fines/penalties exist to ensure that the company (which is required to maximize profit) doesn't ever view a human life that way.
