pLANDRIEU, J.,
concurring with reasons.
After reviewing the record, I believe the award of $60,000 in general damages to the plaintiff is excessive in light of the facts of this case. Nonetheless, in view of the Supreme Court’s decision in Youn v. Maritime Overseas Corp., 623 So.2d 1257 (La.1993), cert. denied 510 U.S. 1114, 114 S.Ct. 1059, 127 L.Ed.2d 379 (1994), I am compelled to agree with the majority opinion in affirming the trial court judgment in all respects.
