The court held that the plaintiff's below‑elbow amputation with persistent stump pain and cosmetic disability justified an award of $600,000 for PSLA within the middle‑to‑upper range of substantial injury; awarded proven past losses and future prosthetic costs calculated with a 25‑year multiplier, assessed loss of earning capacity at $250,000, allowed specified past medical and ancillary expenses, ordered interest at statutory rates on general and special damages, and directed deduction of employees' compensation from the judgment.
