                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               From 1985 through the years in issue, Theodore Green was               
          employed as a tax auditor for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).           
          His duties included examining Federal income tax returns.  On               
          November 12, 1989, Jacqueline Green sustained injuries when she             
          was struck in a grocery store parking lot with a shopping cart              
          operated by Rachel Perez.  Mrs. Green, on November 7, 1990,                 
          sought redress for these injuries by filing a complaint against             
          Ms. Perez in the Superior Court of Ventura County, California.              
          Mrs. Green’s injuries prevented her from continuing to work on              
          the assembly line at General Motors (GM) and beginning in 1991,             
          she began working as a GM decal assembler (i.e., a person who               
          attaches invoices to automobiles).  On August 27, 1991, while               
          working as a decal assembler, she sustained additional injuries             
          including severe back injuries requiring several surgeries and              
          rendering her unable to work.                                               
               On August 6, 1992, Mrs. Green filed a claim for Social                 
          Security benefits, and on December 17, 1993, began receiving such           
          benefits relating to the injuries sustained at GM.  Mrs. Green              
          also filed, with the State of California’s Workers’ Compensation            
          Appeals Board, a claim against GM for these injuries.  At the               
          time of trial, however, Mrs. Green had not received any workmen’s           
          compensation benefits.                                                      
               On November 12, 1996, Mrs. Green obtained a default judgment
