Following a jury verdict awarding general damages to the plaintiff in a motor vehicle collision action, the court heard a threshold motion to determine if the plaintiff's claim surpassed the verbal threshold under the Insurance Act.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to prove a permanent, serious impairment of an important physical, mental, or psychological function as a result of the accident.
Credibility issues regarding the plaintiff's post-accident work activities contributed to this finding.
Consequently, the plaintiff's claim for general damages was dismissed.
