Plaintiff Leigh Bloomfield was struck by defendant Stephen Berg's vehicle on January 23, 2015 while walking in Burnaby, British Columbia. They agreed on physical injuries but disagreed on their impact. The accident also caused psychological conditions, which they disputed. Bloomfield sought damages, but Berg disputed the amount, claiming Bloomfield should have sought treatment for psychological symptoms and that a pre-existing condition would have caused future hip pain. To establish liability, the plaintiff had to prove the defendant's negligence as a contributing factor. Bloomfield's testimony and medical evidence confirmed injuries, pain, and psychological conditions. The awarded damages for the accident were $601,000, covering various categories.
