Summary

A motorcyclist injured in a 2014 road accident claimed damages of up to $510,000 for neck, back and knee injuries allegedly rendering him unemployable as a security officer. The defendant, who accepted 85% liability by consent, argued the injuries were minor and attributable to pre-existing conditions and a subsequent 2015 accident. The court found the plaintiff failed to prove the 2014 accident caused the majority of claimed injuries, awarding only limited damages for minor soft tissue injuries supported by contemporaneous medical evidence.
