And that shouldn't effect compensation at all except to as how the motivation itself may cause damages.

If you think that somehow the extent of his injuries and incapacitation is not going to come up in any law suit involving this incident and compensatory damages you are clueless. When it does he will have to admit that he was hardly incapacitated at all. If he maintains council of a lawyer that would get him to make any statements that could be rebutted by his admissions here both he and his lawyer are peices of **** and deserve to be run down.
