In Singer v. Superior Court (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 1315, the appellate court stated that a trial court must not ignore the issue of pain and suffering, the calculation of which is within the province of the jury: "The trial court abused its discretion in transferring plaintiff's case to the municipal court. . . . Plaintiff experienced pain and emotional suffering both as the result of the two dog bites and as a result of defendants' failure to advise whether 'Sunny' had been inoculated against rabies. '"Pain and suffering are not subject to precise measurement by any scale, and their translation into money damages is peculiarly the function of the trier of the facts." (Id. at p. 1320.)
