The court charged the jury, without objection, that they could award damages for “inconvenience, mental suffering, emotional distress, worry, anxiety, humiliation, and indignity.” The evidence was that plaintiff was unable to live in the mobile home for a number of days, first because of the broken windows, and then because of the absence of heat and electricity. She testified that after the cutting of the electric line, she “felt terrified,” she was afraid of what would happen next, she had “sleepless nights,” and she was “under a lot of stress.”
