Background: Saeid Bayazi Heyran, born on June 23, 1968, in Iran, was involved in a car accident on January 28, 2019. Due to political activism and imprisonment, Heyran relocated to Canada in 2011 as a refugee. He had pre-existing conditions, including a gunshot wound, heart problems, and infections.

Legal Arguments/Issues: Heyran sought compensation for accident-related injuries that impacted his life and work. He claimed non-pecuniary damages for pain and suffering, and compensation for past and future income loss and future care costs. The defendants questioned the extent of his injuries and credibility, citing pre-existing conditions and lack of expert evaluations.

Held: The court found Heyran's testimony less credible due to inconsistencies but accepted some claims based on other evidence. It awarded $130,000 for non-pecuniary damages, $100,000 for past income loss, $150,000 for future income loss, $20,000 for future care costs, and $866 for special damages. The total damages awarded were $400,866.
