What are the circumstances in which a plaintiff sustained mechanical low back pain as a result of a fall?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sturm v Clarke, 2016 BCSC 1657 (CanLII):
However, on review of the defendant’s cases I find Prempeh v. Boisvert, 2012 BCSC 304, to be most like the circumstances in the case before me. There, a plaintiff sustained injuries to her low back and right wrist from a fall onboard a transit bus, resulting in chronic mechanical low back pain as a result of the accident. This pain was persistent and of varying levels and aggravated by lifting or prolonged sitting and standing. Both her back and wrist pain had episodic flare-ups. In order to continue her work she required a back-brace, though these challenges caused her stress.
