In almost every state jury awards for damages are reduced, often drastically, down to what can be proven as material damage. Unless someone has receipts for the $11 million (I haven't read the case) it will likely be reduced. This is the benefit of the 'tort reform' theories pushed by pro-business GOP legislators over the last 40 years.
