417.9 Unlawful Discrimination Damages If you find for (defendant), you will not consider the matter of damages. But if you find for (claimant), you should award (claimant) an amount of money that the greater weight of the evidence shows will fairly and adequately compensate [him] [her] for such damage, including any such damage as (claimant) is reasonably certain to incur in the future. You shall consider the following elements of damages: [any] [the difference between] lost wages and benefits to the date of trial [and what (claimant) earned during that time]. [any mental anguish] [loss of dignity] experienced in the past or to be experienced in the future. There is no exact standard for measuring such damages. The amount should be fair and just in the light of the evidence. [any punitive damages warranted.] [Insert applicable punitive damages instruction.]
