The plaintiff, Peter St. Marthe, sued the defendant for injuries sustained in a bicycle-car collision.
The defendant admitted liability, leaving the court to determine damages, contributory negligence, whether the plaintiff met the permanent serious impairment threshold, and if the action was statute-barred.
The court found the plaintiff's claim was not statute-barred, he met the permanent serious impairment threshold, and was not contributorily negligent.
Damages were awarded for non-pecuniary loss, past and future income loss, and future housekeeping and home maintenance expenses.
