Here’s the thing. First, there’s a lawsuit against the cops and city....figure in the one to two million range. The city is likely examining their insurance policy and already know the magic amount of the deductible that they have to pay.
Second, there’s the case of the guy against the hospital and doctors. In this case....because of the type of insurance policies they have....I’d guess the range of the lawsuit closer to ten million.
The lawyer in this case will clear easily one million for his efforts....maybe even two million. This young guy affected? I’d quietly take the money and leave the state.
Somewhere down the line....this will be made into a movie and we will all marvel at the comedy of errors by the police and hospital. You’d think things like this only happen in Bolivia.
Since you mentioned hospitals, One of the funniest movies I saw was THE HOSPITAL staring George C Scott. It was black humor but you couldn’t help but laugh at what went on inside the hospital.
