The plaintiffs, a mother and son, were injured in a low-speed motor vehicle accident.
The son claimed the accident caused chronic pain syndrome and depression, disabling him from his employment as a security technician.
The mother claimed the accident caused a left shoulder impairment that prevented her from performing housekeeping and self-care.
The court found both plaintiffs met the statutory threshold under the Insurance Act, having sustained permanent serious impairments of important functions.
The court awarded damages for pain and suffering, past and future income loss, future care, and housekeeping/attendant care.
