“"`"[T]here is no yardstick by which compensatory damages for pain and mental suffering can be measured, and the ascertainment of the amount the plaintiff was due as compensation for these elements of damage must of necessity be left to the sound discretion of the jury, subject only to correction by the court for clear abuse or passionate exercise."' " Industrial Chemical & Fiberglass Corp. v. Chandler, 547 So.2d 812, 820 (Ala.1988), quoting W.S. Fowler Rental Equipment Co. v. Skipper, 276 Ala. 593, 603 , 165 So.2d 375 (1963)."”
