Judge accepted the jointly appointed orthopaedic expert Dr Chun's conclusion that the plaintiff had largely recovered by mid-2010, was fit to return to scaffolding with mild reduction in efficiency, and that an old non-union fracture contributed 30% to overall impairment; awarded specified sums for pain and suffering (with 10% future discount), pre-trial loss of earnings (20.3 months), loss of future earning capacity (reduced by 30% for pre-existing injury) and special damages, dismissed exaggerated claims and post-trial lost earnings claims.
