The plaintiff was injured in a motor vehicle accident and awarded damages by a jury.
The defendant brought a threshold motion arguing the plaintiff's injuries did not meet the statutory requirement of a permanent serious impairment.
The court reviewed medical evidence showing the plaintiff suffered from chronic pain, depression, and cognitive deficits from a mild traumatic brain injury, which prevented him from completing high school or working.
The court found the injuries substantially interfered with his usual activities of daily living and were continuous and permanent.
The defendant's motion was dismissed.
