Finding a jury's award of $100,000 in pain and suffering damages amounting to $8 a day for a multiple amputee as too low and a "miscarriage of justice" an appeals court in New Jersey sent the case back for another trial in Walsh v. Disciglio (click here to read the opinion issued August 19, 2008). The plaintiff, Walsh, was subjected to seven surgeries including three amputations as she lost more and more of a leg. The appeals court called the jury's compensatory damages award "grossly insufficient and a miscarriage of justice."
