I'm not talking psychic damage. And I don't need to itemize it.
I'm sorry, but, legally you do.
If you are tied
up within the legal system and say, the medical community for three years trying
to right a wrong. The cost to you is more than the dollars and cents for lawyers
and phone calls etc. They caused the ill and did not own up to it. They fought
you when they were wrong, they are guilty and owe for the wrong but also they
should be penalized and the state is not the one to benefit from the penalty.
The wrongful should be penalized. The aggrieved should receive payment for such.
And you've itemized it in the above. The penalty is for listed damages, which consists of "wrong and guilty", paid to the aggrieved.
This form of penalty predates the USA IIRC, maybe Biblical, not sure. I'm not talking
the moon, it could be one fixed formula for all cases. No surprises, go to court and lose,
it's cost plus.
Fine; go to court and lose, they pay damages AND court costs.
Again, no one can formulize pain, as it is an extremely personal accounting.
The Biblical "eye for an eye" may have meant an actual eye then, I don't know. Today, we account for the loss of potential earnings due to the actual loss of an eye; attempting to account for the oowies in the loss of an eye is incalculable, thus stoopit.
