568 charsDamages may be established through testimony or inferred from the circumstances, and courts should consider the extent of the damage suffered in determining an appropriate amount of damages. Van Den Berk, 26 S.W.3d at 413. Understandably, "[i]ntangible damages, such as pain, suffering, embarrassment, emotional distress, and humiliation do not lend themselves to precise calculation." Id. Because fair and reasonable compensation is the ultimate goal in awarding damages, each case requires individualized consideration and treatment by the trier of fact. Id. at 414.
