The amount of damages to be awarded to a plaintiff for personal injuries is a question for the jury, and the jury's determination will not be disturbed unless the award deviates materially from what is reasonable compensation. In determining whether a verdict constitutes reasonable compensation, courts will look to prior awards in cases involving similar injuries, as well as the nature and extent of the plaintiff's injuries.
