In the case of Augusta-Mansfield v Yun, dated September 13, 2023, the plaintiff, Tercel Augusta-Mansfield, pursued damages for personal injuries that had resulted from a motor vehicle accident on April 27, 2018. Liability for the accident had been admitted by Seagu Yun and Brian Smith, collectively referenced as the Defendants. The central issue had been the compensation amount Mr. Augusta-Mansfield deserved for his injuries. On the day of the accident, Mr. Augusta-Mansfield had been driving a recently purchased 2013 Subaru Legacy when he had collided with a Chevrolet Cobalt and a Jeep Compass driven by the Defendants. His car had been severely damaged, but he hadn't sought immediate medical attention. Following the accident, Mr. Augusta-Mansfield had experienced neck and back pain, numbness in his hands, depression, headaches, and sleep problems. He had eventually received medical diagnoses of soft tissue injuries and had undergone treatments like chiropractic therapy, massage therapy, and medication. In the end, Mr. Augusta-Mansfield had been awarded $397,909.16 in damages, comprising non-pecuniary damages of $75,000.00, past loss of income of $214,419.20 (subject to adjustment), future loss of earning capacity of $100,000.00, cost of future care of $7,960.00, and special damages of $529.96. Adjustments for income tax and prior assistance payments had been to be determined, along with the form of a costs order if parties couldn't agree.
