[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been haunted by this story since I heard about it. Much like you all, I have 3 boys and they enjoy thrill rides and water parks. Unfortunately, I do believe the PP has the statute correct when reading that ECONOMIC damages can reach up to 1M; however, NONECONMIC damages are capped at $350. A 10 year old child doesn't result in economic damages, as sad as that sounds. As much as these poor people don't want or care about the money, they won't be able to obliterate the Schlitterbahn corp. at $300k; which, I would think, would be part of their plan. [/quote] It appears that punitives can go up to $5 million. That wouldn't do it either. I thought that Disney faced an existential crisis with legal exposure resulting from that horrific alligator attack. It appears, though, that the parents elected not to sue. It's their choice, obviously. Both situations cry out for punishment and governments HAVE to step in. [/quote]
