Background: Dr. Ellie Bolgar, the plaintiff, was injured in a motor vehicle accident caused by Caitlyn Ann Fraser, the defendant. The accident resulted in multiple injuries to Dr. Bolgar, impacting her personal and professional life. Dr. Bolgar sought compensation for these injuries and their consequent effects.

Legal Arguments/Issues: The primary issues included liability for the motor vehicle accident, the extent of Dr. Bolgar's injuries, and the appropriate compensation. Dr. Bolgar's counsel presented evidence of ongoing physical and psychological impacts, which the defense contested, arguing that these conditions were either pre-existing or not as severe as claimed.

Held: The court found in favor of Dr. Ellie Bolgar, establishing that Caitlyn Ann Fraser was liable for the accident and the injuries sustained by Dr. Bolgar. The judgment discussed the credibility of the plaintiff and the defendant, the medical evidence provided, and the impact of the injuries on the plaintiff's professional life and earning capacity.

Costs/Damages Awarded: Dr. Bolgar was awarded total damages of $390,776 for her injuries and losses, reflecting compensation for non-pecuniary damages, past and future loss of earnings, cost of future care, and special damages.
