I'm never sure about lawsuits like this... I understand that if a company sold a product (whether it be pills, toys, or cars) that they knew were defective/dangerous in some way, then they should definitely be liable and have to pay. My only issue is: how do you know how much someone should get? This woman got $253.4 million because her husband died, so is that the cost of his life?
I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter, it has to be an amount to have an effect on the company's finances, but I just don't know how I would decide how much someone's life was worth... it's an odd situation.
At least this case wasn't one of the frivilous lawsuits that are out there, like someone getting $20 million because someone else looked at them the wrong way.
