Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Main, J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I concur with the majority in all respects with the exception of their reduction of claimant’s pain and suffering award from $2.5 million to $1 million. In my view, the record does not support such a drastic reduction. I would, instead, reduce such award by no more than $500,000, leaving an award for pain and suffering of $2 million.
