The parents seek $205,500, mainly for damages linked to what the claim calls "emotional distress arising from witnessing the harm to their child." All told, the family is seeking $990,500.
Aren't we taking this a bit too far?

I thought the point of most of this money was to help for lost future wages and damages....... i.e., now the player can no longer be a basketball superstar because he has a bad/possibly scarred hand.

Please to be explaining - How does that disqaulify him from discovering an IT company, or becoming an astronaut, or even movie star (minus a hand model of course)?
