OPINION

WOOD, Judge.

This is an automobile accident case. The jury awarded damages to Maisel and Cook. Wholesome (Wholesome Dairy, Inc.) appeals. The issues are: (1) Is the Maisel verdict excessive; (2) Should the jury have been informed of Maisel's life expectancy; and (3) Should the jury have been allowed to consider the value of earnings lost in determining Cook's damages?

Is the Maisel verdict excessive?
