The question arose regarding the correct methodology for assessing compensation, including the addition of future prospects, appropriate deduction for personal expenses, selection of the correct multiplier, and the entitlement of major, married, and earning sons to compensation as legal representatives.

The court enhanced the total compensation significantly, with interest.
