A jury has just awarded a former High School student $5 million for permanent injuries he suffered in a 2006 lunchtime fight.
The jury also awarded the former student interest dating back to the fight, which could increases the award by $1 million.
In awarding the damages, the jury determined that a student who threw the punch and an assistant principal should pay the majority of the damages.
Medical experts for the former student testified that he suffered a permanent injury, traumatic epilepsy and impaired sleep along with other brain-related disorders as a result of the punch and subsequent fall.
