The Dodgers will pay $14million. The ones that beat him were not directly sued and therefore cannot be collected from.

Jurors determined that Stow suffered about $18 million in damages in the form of lost earnings, medical expenses and pain and mental suffering. The Dodgers must pay $13.9 million of that because while finding the team negligent, jurors assigned it only a portion of the responsibility for Stow's harm.
Stow's attackers shared the rest of the responsibility for Stow's harm, jurors determined. However, they weren't sued and so cannot be required to pay a share of the damages.
Stow's parents pronounced themselves satisfied with the jury's award even though it is less than half of what they had sought.
"We'll make it work for him," said Stow's mother, Ann Stow. |

I get the round the clock assistance needed, but how do you NOT make $14 million work for him? At just 3-4% interest on investing that money will generate $500,000/year. Even in California, that should provide for living expenses and caretakers AND OBAMACARE premiums.
