@muiren@sfba.social Regarding that $13 million: "Nichols' family is expected to receive only a fraction of the $13 million jury award, Hacsi said. "Hacsi said $400,000 is the maximum award the family can collect under the state's Tort Claims Act, which regulates hospitals owned by governmental agencies. Because Gila Regional Medical Center is owned by Grant County, the hospital falls under the law that was enacted in the 1970s, she said." Hacsi is Theresa Hacsi, an attorney for Nichols' family. https://www.abqjournal.com/news/new-mexico-jury-returns-13-million-verdict-in-death-of-star-trek-actor-nichelle-nichols/3057401 Edit: If that link no longer works to see the full article, try this: https://www.pressreader.com/usa/albuquerque-journal/20260606/281479283095187
