Plaintiff, Ms. Craig, sought damages for two motor vehicle accidents. Liability was admitted in both cases, and past income loss was agreed upon. The parties had differing positions on various damage claims. The first accident occurred in 2018, causing significant damage to the plaintiff's car. The second accident happened in 2019, resulting in the plaintiff's car being written off and costly repairs for the defendant's truck. The plaintiff's credibility and background were discussed, along with the impact of the accidents on her physical and mental well-being. Mitigation efforts and ongoing challenges were addressed.
Damages were awarded as follows: $120,000 for nonpecuniary damages, $20,816 for past income loss, $140,000 for future lost earning capacity, cost of future care as adjusted, special damages to be agreed upon by parties, and costs to be discussed if needed.
