Typically judge rejects the huge sums, and he gets more reasonable amount, if even fair. E.g. judge might award him only proven costs with receipts, and reject all the pain-and-suffering.
- nkrisc 2y agoI’d say large sums are warranted here to avoid a perverse incentive where ambulances hit people and then take them to the hospital for profit. I’m only half serious.
- wmf 2y agoIf an ambulance hits someone it's likely that the ambulance's insurance will have to pay their ER bill which will be higher than the ambulance bill. It's a net loss.
- account42 2y agoThey should pay both the ER bill and the ambulance bill, as well as additional damage (which yes should include a reasonable amount for the suffering incurred). If it was a private driver I'd be more lenient but companies can damn well make sure their drivers only work when they can do so safely so should take on the FULL costs they incurred.
