an item of damage also.

h. Your dr could answer these questions Like she may never be able to lift more

than 20 pounds as an example

i. Be sure to like on as much as you can to bump up the figure As a rule of thumb, I

ask for at least $100,000 in general damages ( the minimum) PER major surgery-

like back, neck or hip

j. Less if it’s a knee or ankle etc

k. If she fractured anything that’s a lot in general damages too So do not leave that

mediation without at least 300k in gen damages for 2-3 surgeries plus special

damages as per above for lost income and med exp

l. Even though she has no loss of consortium you can argue that less sex withher bf

due to injuries is compensable under loss of enjoyment of life ( doesn’t hurt to

throw all this in)

m. Also consider lesser items

n. Money she paid out for maid to do housework,

o. yard man,

p. nanny etc AND if you want to pinch pennies Mileage of 50 cents per mile to drive

to Pt dr appts etc or if she has to pay someone to take her or use uber
