20 Apr Biefeld v. Neetz

             On September 7, 2007, the plaintiff, Claire Biefeld, was involved in a motor vehicle accident while driving on Highway 1 near Kamloops, B.C.  I will refer to this as the “Accident” or the “September 2007 Accident.”  Ms. Biefeld asserts that, as a result of the Accident, she suffered a number of injuries, including to her neck, left shoulder, left arm and left hand.  She says that her symptoms eventually caused her, in October 2014, to leave a job she loves.  Ms. Biefeld says further that, as of trial and as a result of her injuries, she continues to experience serious and debilitating symptoms and pain, particularly in her left arm and shoulder, and that, based on all of the medical evidence, the prognosis for any improvement is poor.  In addition to non-pecuniary damages, Ms. Biefeld seeks compensation for past income loss, loss of future income earning capacity, cost of future care and special damages....
