What is the motor vehicle accident that bottoms this litigation?

I turn to the motor vehicle accident of November 26, 1996 that bottoms this litigation. Just what injuries has the plaintiff proved on a balance of probabilities were caused or contributed to in a material way by the defendant's negligence? Taking into account what has actually occurred and having applied probability analysis - (real and substantial possibilities, good; mere speculation, bad) - to "hypothetical events (such as how the plaintiff's life would have proceeded without the tortious injury) or future events," what reasonable assessment of damages will place the plaintiff in the position she would have been in absent the defendant's negligence, but not a better position? (Athey v. Leonati, supra).
