Extremely unlikely that they could have received an award of attorneys fees for assault or infliction of emotional distress, but they were represented by a nonprofit advocacy group, yes? This jury of Arizonians found that the average person in the group suffered $2,967.33 worth of emotional distress, sharing $10,000 each of the 60K intended to punish and deter him from further such conduct. Also unlikely, but his insurance company could pay some or all of this, and his attorneys' fees as well.
