The purposes of this chapter are to fully and fairly compensate injured parties as well as to:
- (1) Alleviate some of the practical problems incident to unpredictability of large future losses;
- (2) Effectuate more precise awards of damages for actual losses;
- (3) Pay damages as the trier of fact finds the losses will accrue; and
- (4) Assure that payments of damages more nearly serve the purposes for which they are awarded.
