This legal action originated from a motor vehicle collision (MVC) on March 1, 2019, where the defendant, Janet Lucaben, admitted liability for running a red light and colliding with the plaintiff, Christopher Timms. The main point of contention revolved around compensating Mr. Timms for his injuries and their long-term effects. The defendant argued that Mr. Timms' capacity was unaffected due to his continued employment, but the plaintiff contended that recent court precedents necessitated a thorough evaluation of future claims, including loss of future earning capacity. Both experts agreed that Mr. Timms sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the MVC. The court determined the damages awarded to Mr. Timms, totaling $1,222,160.80, covering various categories such as non-pecuniary damages, loss of housekeeping capacity, past income, future loss of capacity, and future cost of care. Furthermore, based on the totality of evidence, the court found the total award to be fair and reasonable.
