What are some examples of common garden-variety personal injury cases?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Petryshyn v. Iachetta, 2006 CanLII 11442 (ON SC):

The defendants refer to the decision of Kileen J. in Pagnotta v. Brown, [2002] Carswell Ont. 2666, a case they describe as a common garden-variety personal injury case and rely on this portion of the decision: “From my perspective, if lawyers wish to expend such grossly inordinate amounts of billable hours on relatively routine cases, they may feel free to do so, subject to their client’s approval, but they cannot expect judges to encourage such inefficient expenditures of time when their costs are to be fixed following upon a trial.”
