This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

P was injured in an auto accident with D’s truck. P was a passenger in the car that was struck by D. P was a housewife and other than raising 5 children and homeschooling them she took an occasional odd job outside the home. P had no plans at the time of the accident to work outside the house. The jury awarded plaintiff non-economic damages of $30,000 and $37,399.95 in economic damages. Because the amount of special economic damages was $7,399.95, the award necessarily included $30,000 for impaired earning capacity. D appealed the $30,000 for impaired earning capacity.
