The trial court granted $30,000 for Ms. White’s pain and suffering prior to surgery and $10,000 for pain and suffering that followed after discussing supporting evidence in the record. It concluded general damages for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life were appropriate. The damage award was not so “flagrantly outrageous and extravagant” as to manifest passion or prejudice. Bingaman, 103 Wn.2d at 837 (citing Kramer v. Portland-Seattle Auto Freight, Inc., 43 Wn.2d 386, 395, 261 P.2d 692 (1953)). Given the trial court’s discussion of the evidence, and its careful consideration of the extent of Ms. White’s damages, we find no error. See Nord, 116 Wn.2d at 487.
