While assessing non-pecuniary damages is very case specific, I find the facts here are most akin to those cases in which older plaintiffs have suffered significant negative changes to their lifestyle and independence due to their injuries. Of the cases referred to I find the cases of Pingitore v. Luk and Larlee v. Shier to be most similar to the case at bar. In both those cases, older plaintiffs suffered significant injuries that impaired their post-accident lives to a substantial degree, depriving them of their prior levels of physical activity, productivity and enjoyment. I look to those cases in assessing a fair and reasonable amount in non-pecuniary damages in this case.
