What is the fairest and most reasonable damage award in a motor vehicle accident?

The fairest and most reasonable damage award is one which takes into account both the discount and the adjustment for inflation. With such an award the plaintiff is made whole without receiving a windfall at the defendant's expense. However, this preference does not relieve either party of the burden of presenting evidence as to the award's computation. Each of the two elements must be independently established by competent evidence. United States v. English, 521 F.2d at 75; Hollinger v. United States, 651 F.2d at 641-42.
