I did not say they won. But those officials also had to get lawyers, take time away from their jobs and deal with a court case hanging over their head for a period of time. So they had to spend some money or lose money to defend themselves either way. This is why companies and individuals often settle for an amount to not spend all the money fighting a case only to find out they were not responsible.
And for the record to everyone else, it was not the individual that sued the officials in the case I referenced, it was the insurance company that paid medical bills and wanted to hold the officials responsible to get their money back. So it might not be the kid or the family that sues you for not applying a rule, but some other body that feels you did not do your job and wants to limit their responsibility.
