The judge awarded general damages of $50,000 because, on the facts, a child injured at 3½ with a below‑knee amputation faces lifelong disability, recurring prosthetic costs and adjustments, significant loss of amenities and likely future emotional and matrimonial disadvantages; local comparative authorities and the need to relate awards to Hong Kong standards justified the quantum.
