How Much Is Your Life Worth?

If someone attacked you and you felt your life was threatened, how much would you sue them for?
How does $137,000 sound? Doesn't that sound kind of low for a "life threatening experience"?
What if the person who attacked you only offered you $20,000? Would you take it?
After all, the attack left you with a split lip, some cuts on your face, and a heaping plate of embarassment.
What if your life was never in danger and you basically got your ass kicked by a 62 year old man?
Yeah, maybe you should have taken that settlement, huh?
A photographer who said he worried he would be killed when Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband punched him in the face on a Beverly Hills street was awarded $4,510 in damages Friday.
…
In his complaint, Dirk Smeten claimed Von Anhalt, 62, angrily approached and began punching him while Smeten tried to photograph him in May 2005. The blows caused Smeten to fall to the sidewalk, according to the complaint.
…
"I have this camera over my shoulder trying to photograph my wife. No respect whatsoever," Von Anhalt said. "I pushed him away. He came back. I pushed him away again. He came back again."
Von Anhalt said he wanted to settle the case, and had offered Smeten $20,000.
