PLAINTIFFS' POINTS FOR CHARGE
Plaintiffs respectfully request your Court to read the
following Points for Charge to the jury,
ANGINO & ROVNER, P.C.
I
Date: /1- , d - q Lo

4503 N, Front Street
Harrisburg, PA 17110
(717) 238-6791
Counsel for Plaintiffs
10211 q/MTG
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 1
In this case, the defense has stipulated that Ms. Lugaro
negligently operated her motor vehicle and is therefore liable to
Mr. and Mrs. Nuschke for the damages you believe they sustained in
the subject motor vehicle accident.
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 2
Given the stipulation that Ms. Lugaro was negligent, you must
find an amount of money damages which you believe will fairly and
adequately compensate Mrs. Nuschke for the amount of damages she
sustained as a result of the accident. The amount you award her
today must compensate her completely for damages sustained in the
past, as well as damages she may sustain in the future.
Pa. SSJI (Civ,) ~6.00 - Damages.
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 4
Mrs, Nuschke is entitled to be fairly and adequately
compensated for such physical pain, mental anguish, discomfort,
inconvenience, and distress as you find she has endured from the
time of the accident until today.
Pa. SSJI ICiv.l ~6.01E - Past Pain and Suffering.
POINT FOR CHARGE NO. 5
Mrs. Nuschke is entitled to be fairly and adequately
compensated for such physical pain, mental anguish, discomfort,
inconvenience and distress as you believe she will endure in the
future as a result of her injuries,
Pa. SSJI (Civ.) ~6.01F - Future Pain and Suffering.
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 6
In evaluating the amount to be awarded for pain and suffering,
you should consider that the infliction of pain means taking from
a person what is her own to possess and retain -- namely, health
and well-being -- and that the law allows for compensation of this
loss to the extent that that loss may be calculated in monetary
damages. In arriving at any award for pain and suffering which
Mrs, Nuschke has undergone, you must also consider the extent to
which her injuries have resulted in a loss or lessening of her
ability to enjoy life and life's pleasures and the ability to
engage in various other activities which she enjoyed prior to the
accident.
DiChiacchio v. Rockcraft Stone Products Co., 424 Pa. 77, 85, 225
A,2d 913 (1967); Corcoran v, McNeal, 400 Pa. 14, 26, 161 A.2d 367
(196); and Carminati v, philadelohia Transo. Co" 405 Pa, 500, 176
A.2d 440 (1962).
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 7
Fear for one's future emotional and physical well-being is
another element of pain and suffering. This is true of the
emotional reaction in the past. as well as worry, apprehension or
concern oyer future possibilities.
Walsh y. Brody, 220 Pa. Super. 293, 286 A.2d 666 (1971).
POINT FOR CHARGE NO.8
Mrs, Nuschke is entitled to be fairly and adequately
compensated for such embarrassment and humiliation as you believe
she has endured and will continue to endure in the future as a
result of her injuries.
Pa. SSJI (Civ,) ~6.01G - Embarrassment & Humiliation.
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 9
Mrs. Nuschke is entitled to be fairly and adequately
compensated for the past, present, and future loss of her ability
to enjoy any of the pleasures of life as a result of her injuries,
Pa, SSJI (Civ,) ~6.01I - Enjoyment of Life.
POINT FOR CHARGE NO. 10
If you find that Mrs. Nuschke's injuries will continue beyond
today, you must determine her li fe expectancy,
According to
statistics compiled by the United States Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, the average life expectancy of all persons
of Mrs. Nuschke's age at the time of the accident, sex, and race
was 45.4 years. This figure is offered to you only as a guide, and
you are not bound to accept it if you believe that Mrs. Nuschke
would have lived longer or less than the average individuals in her
category.
In reaching this decision, you are to consider Mrs,
Nuschke's health prior to the accident, her manner of living, her
personal habits and other facts that may have affected the duration
of her life.
Pa. SSJI (Civ,) 56,21; Rosche v. McCoy. 397 Pa. 615, 156 A,2d 307
(1959); See, Life Expectancy, Vital Statistics of the United
States, (1988) Life Tables.
\
1/ ,
POINT FOR CHARGE NO, 11
As a result of Mrs. Nuschke's injuries, her husband, David
Nuschke, may also be entitled to damages based on loss of
consortium, You may determine an award of monetary damages to Mr,
Nuschke for the loss of aid, assistance, comfort, society,
guidance, solace, services and sexual relations, that his wife
would be expected to render him but for her injuries suffered in
the accident,
Mueller v. Brandon, 282 Pa. Super, 37, 422 A.2d 664 (1980).
