A tortfeasor "must accept the person as he finds him," and Mr. Lehman is entitled to recover for all of the pain and suffering he experienced, including the suffering that was increased by his previous medical conditions. See Haws v. Bullock, 592 S.W.2d 588, 591 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1979). The evidence preponderates against the Commission's award for his pain and suffering and the award is beneath the lower limit of the range of reasonableness established by the record in this case, giving due consideration to the factors identified in the cases mentioned previously.

The jury, having reached this conclusion, would not be obligated to compensate plaintiffs in this judgment for injuries suffered in both accidents. See Haws v. Bullock, (1979 Tenn. App.E.S.) 592 S.W.2d 588. Furthermore, next to the jury, the Trial Judge was in the best position to determine the reasonableness of the verdict. See Strother v. Lane, (1976 Tenn. App.M.S.) 554 S.W.2d 631. Once the Trial Judge has, as here, approved the verdict, appellate Courts must give great weight to that decision.
