What is the standard of damages for personal injury damages in personal injury cases?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Penetrante v. U.S., 604 F.2d 1248 (9th Cir. 1979):
"While courts do 'seek to maintain some degree of uniformity in cases involving similar losses,' Felder v. United States, 543 F.2d 657, 674 (9th Cir. 1976), damage awards turn on the facts of each case. 'While analogies to, and comparisons with, other cases may be helpful on many types of issues, their usefulness on questions of damages is extremely limited.' United States v. English, 521 F.2d 63, 72 (9th Cir. 1975)."
