this was punative damage, not actual. actual damages were already paid.
There is still oil on the beachs, not all of it was cleaned up.

Not all of the fisherman where able to get on to work for the clean up, then when the clean up was "finished" it has taken years and still continues for the fish to come back to pre spill numbers.

Actual damages are one thing, but the lost income because of the actions of a company.

Best hope that a corp in your area does not do something like what Exxon did here or you too will have the same out come.
