Ms. Groeneveld's trial involved a motor vehicle accident where liability was admitted. The defendants disputed the connection between the accident and her ongoing back pain, as well as her impairment of housekeeping and future earning capacity. The court awarded damages of $95,000 for non-pecuniary damages, $15,000 for loss of housekeeping capacity, $100,000 for impairment of future earning capacity, and $2,665.36 for special damages. No award was given for future care costs due to lack of evidence. Ms. Groeneveld was granted her costs at the ordinary scale of difficulty despite not receiving the full amount she sought.
