Case Overview:
The case Dehghan v. Dhillon involved Feyzollah Dehghan (plaintiff) suing Amndeep Kaur Dhillon and others (defendants) for injuries sustained in two motor vehicle accidents on February 1, 2016, and November 15, 2018. Liability was admitted by the defendants, so the trial focused on the quantum of damages.

Injuries and Claims:
Mr. Dehghan, who was 70 and retired at the time of the first accident, suffered soft-tissue injuries to his neck, shoulders, and upper back, and chronic headaches, which worsened after the second accident. He also experienced a worsening of his pre-existing depression. He claimed $130,000 for non-pecuniary loss, $40,000 for loss of housekeeping capacity, and $192,000 for future care costs.

Legal Arguments/Issues
The plaintiff argued his injuries significantly impacted his daily life and required ongoing treatment, including physiotherapy and Botox injections. The defendants countered that Mr. Dehghan’s condition was largely the same as before the accidents and suggested lower damage awards, particularly disputing the future care costs.

Court’s Decision:
The court found Mr. Dehghan credible and awarded him $105,000 in non-pecuniary damages, $25,000 for loss of housekeeping capacity, and $132,000 for future care costs. Special damages of $9,671.19 were agreed upon, bringing the total award to $271,671.19.
