The plaintiff, Patrick Addai, brought an action for damages for personal injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
The defendant, Kelly Parkinson, moved for a determination that the plaintiff's claim for non-pecuniary loss was barred under s. 267.5(5) of the Insurance Act.
The court found the plaintiff's evidence regarding the causation and permanence of his alleged injuries (shoulders, wrists, dental, neck, back, headaches, psychological) to be inconsistent and unreliable.
The court preferred the defendant's expert evidence and concluded that the plaintiff failed to prove that his injuries constituted a permanent serious impairment of an important physical, mental, or psychological function caused by the accident.
Consequently, the defendant's motion was granted, and the plaintiff's claim for non-pecuniary loss was dismissed.
