The jury was given 80 Pages of instructions from Judge Hunter Caroll and had to decide on seven claims, including:
False imprisonment: The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
Battery: The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
Medical negligence: The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
Fraudulent billing: The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
Survivor claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress (Estate of Beata Kowalski): The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
Wrongful death claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress causing death: The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
Maya Kowalski’s claim for infliction of emotional distress: The jury ruled in favor of the Kowalski family
In compensatory damages, the family will receive $211,451,174. The jury will now decide on what punitive damages need to be accounted for.
I don’t even know what the case was over and I’m already rooting for the family.
There might be another side to the story.
