In any action for personal injury, the damages awarded may include compensation for non-economic loss, including pain and suffering and such other elements of damage which are recognized by law and which are not objectively verifiable monetary losses. However, damages for non-economic loss shall in no case exceed $875,000.
    II. In trials to a jury, the jury shall not be informed of the maximum allowable amount prescribed in paragraph I of this section.

If that portion of the damages exceeds the maximum allowable amount, the court shall reduce damages awarded for non-economic loss to the maximum allowable amount.
