Coquitlam ICBC Lawyer: Depression & Central Sensitization - Trial Win.
In Ho v. Eccles, 2021 BCSC 244, our middle-income earning client suffered from psychiatric and physical injuries such as major depression, central sensitization, and chronic pain. She was involved in numerous motor vehicle accidents prior to the subject accidents as well as falling incidents after the subject accidents. The injured claimant (plaintiff) was declared a crumbling skull. The falling incidents were deemed intervening events and the doctrine of novus actus interveniens was therefore applied. Notwithstanding her findings, Madam Justice D. MacDonald awarded our client, inter alia, $230,000 for future loss of earnings and $65,000 for future loss of housekeeping capacity.
