“Actual damages” for injuries under G. L. c. 93A comprehend all foreseeable and consequential damages arising out of conduct which violates the statute, DiMarzo v. American Mut. Ins. Co., 389 Mass. at 101, and we think, include, after St. 1979, c. 406, § 1, “emotional distress, occurring contemporaneously with . . . personal injuries.” See Payton v.
