[brief] Plaintiff’s Damages  The jury awarded Plaintiff $3,500,000 in damages for her pain and suffering.  Da273.  The entirety of the damage award was for Plaintiff’s physical injuries and none of the damages awarded include any form of economic loss.  The only evidence presented in support of Plaintiff’s damage claim was Plaintiff’s testimony, the testimony of a single medical expert, which included demonstrative exhibits depicting Plaintiff’s injuries and the surgeries performed, and photographs and a video from the scene of the accident.  Notably, the trial court also allowed the Plaintiff to play the audio from the police dash cam video over the objection of the defendants.  1T:13-17 to 20-2; Da41.  The video is inflammatory and likely engendered great sympathy for the Plaintiff.  There is no question that Plaintiff suffered significant orthopedic injuries to her legs and required multiple surgeries to address those injuries.  However, the evidence presented at trial included Plaintiff’s own testimony on direct examination that she was able to take care of her daughter, who was seven years old at the time of the trial.  2T:182-14 to 183-8.  Although she was not working at the time of the trial, she was actively looking for work.  Ibid.  Although Plaintiff did not produce a psychiatric medical expert, she was permitted to testify that she takes anti-depressant medication and that she feels self-conscious about the scars on her legs.  2T:184-9 to 185-5.  Moreover, although Plaintiff did not produce an economic damages expert to support a future lost wage claim and the jury was not asked to make a separate award for lost wages, she was permitted to testify that she had hoped to one day become a police officer but was not physically able to do so.  2T:185-6 to 13.  Plaintiff also did not seek an award for future medical expenses.  Additionally, Plaintiff presented the testimony of [...], who performed an independent orthopedic medical examination.  [...] is an orthopedic surgeon.  2T:194-5 to 6.  [...] described the fractures Plaintiff suffered to her forearm and legs and the surgical procedures that she underwent to treat those injuries.  3T:203-4 to 204-17.  He also discussed Plaintiff’s prognosis and what likely treatment she would need in the future.  3T:220-15 to 224-22.  On cross-examination, [...] acknowledged that Plaintiff had not received any medical treatment for her injuries in the 18 months preceding his independent medical examination, which occurred in February of 2023.  3T:230-9 to 231-2.  [...] also agreed that Plaintiff made a good recovery and stated that given the nature of her injuries the fact that she is able to walk with a slight limp and some pain “is nothing short of a miracle. ”  3T:231-3 to 24.  Based on this record, the jury awarded $3,500,000, with no award for any economic damages.  The jury was not asked to make damage awards for lost wages or future medical expenses.  While acknowledging that Plaintiff’s injuries were serious and required multiple surgical procedures and a prolonged hospitalization, Plaintiff made a very good recovery and has resumed many of, if not most, of her daily activities.  She is looking for work and is able to care for her young daughter.  An award of $3,500,000 for pain and suffering without any award for economic damages is excessive and is an unjust result.
