Case 1:18-cv-01011-RMC Document 42 Filed 08/09/19 Page 14 of 19 3. Conclusion Ms. Dumpson has presented well-plead claims against Moonbase Holdings and Messrs. Anglin and Ade for interference with Ms. Dumpson’s right to full and equal enjoyment of places of public accommodation and an educational institution and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Because Moonbase Holdings and Messrs. Anglin and Ade have not responded, default judgment will be entered. B. Damages 1. Compensatory Damages10 Compensatory damages “are intended to redress the concrete loss that the plaintiff has suffered by reason of the defendant’s wrongful conduct.” State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408, 416 (2003) (quotation marks and citation omitted). They “make plaintiffs whole for the harms that they have suffered as a result of defendants’ actions.” Embassy of Fed. Republic of Nigeria v. Ugwuonye, 945 F. Supp. 2d 81, 85 (D.D.C. 2013) (quoting Hendry v. Pelland, 73 F.3d 397, 402 (D.C. Cir. 1996)). Compensatory damages include economic damages, which are a concrete loss, and damages for “pain, suffering, and mental anguish” for which the amount of damages is not a sum certain. Robinson v. Ergo Sols., LLC, 4 F. Supp. 3d 171, 178 (D.D.C. 2014). In these default circumstances, a court has latitude in determining an award of compensatory damages and may do so after an independent evaluation. See Sanchez, 322 F.R.D. at 35. Joint and several liability is proper when defendants’ “independent acts combined to cause a single injury.” District of Columbia v. Wash. Hosp. Ctr., 722 A.2d 332, 336-37 (D.C. 1998); see also Fred A. Smith Mgmt. Co. v. Cerpe, 957 A.2d 907, 10 Plaintiffs may recover compensatory damages for emotional pain and suffering under the DCHRA. See Sumes v. Andres, 938 F. Supp. 9, 13 (D.D.C. 1996). 14
