An injured party has the right to collect for past and probable future damages. These damages fall into two groups.

Second, what I call, human damages (physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, loss of relationship with a family member). Jurors have violated their oath if they have not considered each of these damages separately and fully if submitted to them by the court.
