“appellate review of an award for general damages, especially for personal injuries, is limited to determining whether the trial court or jury abused its discretion, and the adequacy or inadequacy of such an award is determined on the basis of the facts peculiar to each case. Such an award is not to be disturbed on appeal save in a case of clear and manifest error.”
