What is the impact of a motor vehicle accident on a young male?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Knight v Zenone, 2022 BCSC 99 (CanLII):

Two cases advanced by the plaintiff are particularly noteworthy. In Moges v. Sanderson, 2020 BCSC 1511, the court considered a male plaintiff involved in three motor vehicle accidents, the first of which was most severe and the subsequent accidents causing a number of significant aggravations. At trial, the plaintiff had low back, shoulder, knee, ankle, neck pain and migraine headaches. This had developed into chronic pain, had led to moderately severe major depressive disorder and an anxiety disorder. The injuries significantly restricted his physical activities, such that he was only able to go for short walks and was only able to drive for a short period of time. Like the plaintiff in this case, the plaintiff in Moges was hard-working and studious. He was very active in soccer, as well as hiking and biking. He had a future plan to enhance his employment opportunity in the area of engineering. As a result of the accident, his future was bleak and he was essentially competitively unemployable.
