The plaintiff Joel Raun was injured in a violent rear-end motor vehicle collision July 12, 2005. The defendants have admitted liability for the collision. The issue to be decided is the appropriate amount of compensation to which Mr. Raun is entitled as a result of injuries caused by the collision.

The wide discrepancy in suggested damages arise from conflicting assessments of the nature, extent and duration of Mr. Rauns physical injuries and the cause of his lack of earnings since the collision....
