“Plaintiff claims that he has been harmed by the injury to his spouse. If you decide that Injured Spouse has proved her claim against Defendant, you also must decide how much money, if any, will reasonably compensate Plaintiff for loss of Spouse’s companionship and services, including: 1. The loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, and moral support; and 2. The loss of the enjoyment of sexual relations or the ability to have children. [Plaintiff may recover for harm he proves he has suffered to date and for harm he is reasonably certain to suffer in the future. For future harm, determine the amount in current dollars paid at the time of judgment that will compensate Plaintiff for that harm. This amount of noneconomic damages should not be further reduced to present cash value because that reduction should only be performed with respect to economic damages.] No fixed standard exists for deciding the amount of these damages. You must use your judgment to decide a reasonable amount based on the evidence and your common sense. Do not include in your award any compensation for the following: 1. The loss of financial support from Injured Spouse; 2. Personal services, such as nursing, that Plaintiff has provided or will provide to Injured Spouse; 3. Any loss of earnings that Plaintiff has suffered by giving up employment to take care of Injured Spouse; or 4. The cost of obtaining domestic household services to replace services that would have been performed by Injured Spouse.”
