Defendant
Introduction:
Krystle Michaela Bown sued Ivor Skogheim, Gurvinder Sivia, and Good Deal Carpets & Flooring Ltd. for damages resulting from a motor vehicle accident on December 30, 2016, in Surrey, British Columbia.
Legal Issues:
The court addressed:
Liability:
The court found Ivor Skogheim 100% liable, as he made a left turn against a green light and failed to yield. Evidence showed he had consumed alcohol before driving.
Causation and Medical Evidence:
Bown claimed the accident caused soft tissue injuries, headaches, chronic pain, and psoriatic arthritis. The court accepted that the accident caused soft tissue injuries and chronic pain but rejected a causal link to psoriatic arthritis, citing a lack of timely symptoms.
Damages Awarded
The court allowed the parties to address costs and interest separately.
