AFAIK, the going rate here seems to be 1/3. I don't think it is going to be half. Now you get billed for misc stuff like if he has to fedex something overnight but pretty much at the 1/3 level not 1/2.

If you hit me and I sue you, I might win some money but I will have to payoff the money the insurance company spent on me. How is this any different?
