The opinion

AMY, J.,

concurring in part, dissenting in part.

|TI respectfully dissent from that portion of the majority opinion affirming the quantum of general damages. In my opinion, the underlying factual basis does not support the trial court’s award of $400,000 and is, therefore, an abuse of discretion. I would lower the quantum to the highest point at which damages are reasonable in accordance with Youn v. Maritime Overseas Corp., 623 So.2d 1257 (La.1993).

I concur in the remainder of the majority opinion.
