Judgment: $1,613,160.57
Our client, a 52-year-old foster parent, suffered serious orthopedic and psychological injuries in a motorcycle accident. We were able to establish that our client would suffer a significant loss of income in the future despite there being minimal past income loss and no documentation verifying his take-home income.
McConnell v. Toyota Credit Canada Inc.
2021 BCSC 859 – 2021/05/06
Judgment: $241,216.25
Our client was a 55-year-old sales representative who suffered from chronic pain as a result of a car accident. The trial judge accepted our argument that our client would likely lose income in the future even though there was no clear change in her commission income after the accident.

2020 BCSC 2052 – 2020/12/23
Judgment: $1,450,895.56

Miller v. Resurreccion
2019 BCSC 1719 – 2019/10/09
Judgment: $440,057
Our client received an award that vastly surpassed the amounts suggested by the defence. We successfully proved that our client’s losses were caused by her car accident in the face of the defence’s argument that her symptoms were caused by previous struggles with depression and other traumatic events.
Ranahan v. Iron Horse Enterprises & Logistics Inc.

Judgment: $838,430
Our client, who operated a successful logging business, was seriously injured when his motorcycle collided with a left-turning semi-truck.

Judgment: $1,633,034.83

Peers v. Bodkin Leasing Corporation
2012 BCSC 271 – 2012/02/23
Judgment: $570,480.11
Our client, a 56-year-old boom boat operator, was involved in a car accident, but the initial assessments indicated his injuries were minor. After we encouraged a referral to a medical expert and private MRI, it was determined he had permanent, career-ending injuries to his spinal cord. The trial judge accepted he could not return to his previous job.

2010 BCSC 978 – 2010/07/13
Judgment: $986,825

Ratelle v. Barton
2017 BCSC 1262 – 2017/07/20
