Damages or no damages?

(Scenario 1)
Male, age 20, Hispanic, high school or GED, average student, spent one
year in prison for car theft, on parole, worked 6 months on concrete pouring
crew, was injured and will not be able to work construction due to lifting
limitations, cognitive ability in tact.

(Scenario 2)
Female, age 40, white, college graduate (BBA), spent 20 years in federal
prison for bank and wire fraud, released, no parole, out 90 days,
interviewing for receptionist position, injured in MVA, can continue in
sedentary work, some shoulder and neck limitations, and slight lifting
limits.

How would you address these. Thanks
