The jury awarded the Plaintiff a total of $200,000.00 in damages, including $50,000.00 in general damages. At trial, the Plaintiff testified that he could no longer work as a truck driver or ride motorcycles for recreation as a result of his injuries. Justice Charney accepted that the Plaintiff could no longer work as a truck driver, but found that this was the result of osteoarthritis in his shoulder which was not caused by the MVA. As such, Justice Charney found that the Plaintiff had not sustained a permanent serious impairment and his claim for non-pecuniary damages was struck.
