Background: The plaintiff, Amritpal Kaur Dhillon, was involved in two rear-end motor vehicle accidents: on January 6, 2017 (MVA #1) and July 12, 2018 (MVA #2). Dhillon claimed these accidents caused her a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and other physical and psychological injuries.

Legal Issues/Arguments: Liability was admitted by the defendants, Neil Tochor, Ana-Elisa Mansell, Ravdeep Munday, and Ravinder Munday. The primary issue was the assessment of damages due to Dhillon.

Dhillon argued she suffered from severe headaches, neck and back pain, nausea, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, and low mood post-accidents. Despite these issues, she continued working full-time with accommodations. Dhillon sought approximately $730,000 in damages. The defendants contended Dhillon exaggerated her symptoms, as she maintained full-time employment post-accidents. They suggested a total damages award of $126,553.

Held: The court found Dhillon experienced an MTBI, ongoing headaches, neck and back pain, and psychological issues due to the accidents. It recognized her persistent effort to work despite pain.

Costs/Damages Awarded The court awarded Dhillon $520,217.60 in total damages, including non-pecuniary damages, loss of earning capacity, and cost of future care. The award reflected the severity and persistence of her injuries and their impact on her life and work.
