The plaintiff suffered a severe acquired brain injury after losing control of her vehicle on a snow-covered portion of a county road.
She sued the municipality for failing to maintain the road.
The court found that the municipality breached its statutory duty under the Municipal Act by failing to plow and salt the road, which had accumulated a large snow drift.
The court rejected the municipality's statutory defences and its argument that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent for driving too fast.
The plaintiff was awarded significant damages for non-pecuniary loss, past and future income loss, future care costs, and Family Law Act claims for her parents.
