The jury is always conservative. They never realize that the attorney is taking a percentage, and has usually worked two year and fronted the costs without being paid. If a jury gives you back the amount of medical costs, they think they are doing something. Juries have been convinced by a strong advertising campaign by insurance companies to not give large awards. The only saving grace is emotional distress. Can you imagine the emotions you would have, to see your neighbor take a baseball bat to your best friend? I don't know if the anguish is less for your child than your dog. Evan L.
