The facts of this case are set forth in our original opinion, Thibodeaux v. Donnell, 15-0503 (La.App. 1 Cir. 2/24/16) , 189 So.3d 469 , reversed, 16-0570 (La, 1/20/17), 219 So.3d 274 . There is no mechanical rule for determining general damages de novo; the facts and circumstances of each case control. Butcher v. City of Monroe, 31,932 (La.App. 2 Cir. 5/5/99), 737. So.2d 189, 196, writ denied, 99-1608 (La. 9/17/99), 747 So.2d 566 .
