Good question and a good suggestion by Lebell about people who own guns and have children.
As to the question of how much a persons jaw is worth.
It is a fact that almost all awards get cut in by huge amounts because the insurance companies have banks of lawyers to do just that.
A cap on settlements would just mean less work for their lawyers and piddly settlements.
Most jurys give huge settlements either to punish the company or to make sure the amount the person gets is resonable.
If you had your jaw shot off, knowing that for the rest of your life things like getting jobs, a partners and not being stared at everytime you go to dinner would be worth a lot.
