When a federal judge handed down a $28 million verdict in August in a trio of lawsuits stemming from Tropical Storm Allison's flooding of several corporate offices, the court battle was hardly over. A dispute erupted over how the court should treat the $20 million in settlements that were reached with two defendants. Now Pennsylvania federal Judge Gene E.K. Pratter has sided with the defense, finding that the plaintiffs were attempting to "justify a recovery far in excess of the total awarded damages."
