I completely understand your pain but sometimes you've gotta give an adversary a way out in order to gain from victory. There's no way in hell he's gonna shell out 47k on this even with a judgment. We know that already from the company that shall not be named but begins with a G and ends with an M. Regardless of what's allowable by law it's smart to make concessions in order to achieve the desired result. Ever wonder how a guy who shoots 3 people in a parking lot is only convicted of aggravated battery instead of attempted murder? The most likely reason is that the only way the state can get him to admit what he did is to offer him the lesser charge or take a gamble that one of the twelve idiots in the jury box believes that he really was abducted by aliens the night the shooting happened. Attorney fees plus what it really cost you and a small amount for your inconvenience is much more likely to be achieved than 3x the cost incurred. Not a judgement just an observation. Good luck if you can squeeze it out of him because he does deserve to be squeezed.
