Japanische Familie fordert 700.000 US-Dollar von US-Seemann und japanischer Regierung wegen tödlichem Absturz

That’s the maximum compensation for civil matters.

There was one idol who was granted that because of gross negligence from the police when she kept reporting a stalker to the police, and they did nothing, until finally she was raped, and disfigured with a knife while returning home from a concert after exiting a taxi, and no longer able to do her duties as an idol, she sued the police for like 75 million yen, and won!

The only matter I recall where a civil matter attained maximum compensation.

That was the precinct, of course local authorities have that kind of money… But, when it comes to a lone sailor… the family might get monthly contributions. Bunkatsu, if the sailor doesn’t have private insurance to cover this, or if he doesn’t off himself first.
