Brittney Evans, a nursing student at Thompson Rivers University, was involved in two motor vehicle accidents. The first occurred in October 26, 2014, when she was a passenger in a vehicle driven by defendant Sean Graham that rolled on the Coquihalla Highway. The second accident happened in January 11, 2017 when her vehicle was rear-ended by defendant Peter Rezunyk's vehicle. Ms. Evans claimed damages for her injuries, seeking compensation for pain, suffering, loss of future earning capacity, future care costs, and special damages. The defendants acknowledged her injuries but argued for modest damages, stating that she was still able to pursue her desired activities and responsibilities. In the end, the court awarded Ms. Evans a total of $604,246.63, including non-pecuniary damages, loss of future earning capacity, future care costs, and special damages.
