10k for permanent nerve damage??!! The victim mustve had a terrible lawyer. That's definitely worth more than that.

[@centerforphlebotomyeducati4509]

We tend to agree. We've seen cases where $3.5 million was awarded. But, we don't know all the facts on the $10K case. Not even me, who served as an expert witness.

@@leelunk8235, no, it's basic anatomy, veins are blue and arteries are red. Veins carry deoxygenated blood, hence they are commonly illustrated as blue (though in reality they carry brick red blood). Arteries on the other hand are red (as they carry bright red blood) with oxygenated blood.
