Azemina Omerovic was injured in a rear-end collision in June 2016. She claimed damages for personal injury, and the defendants admitted liability. Despite ongoing pain, she managed to work as an office worker. However, her access to necessary resources and treatments was hindered due to various circumstances, including the lack of a family physician and insurance limitations. Ms. Omerovic sought damages totaling $801,666, including general damages, past and future economic loss, loss of housekeeping capacity, and cost of future care. Special damages were agreed upon at $9,162.12, but the defendants proposed a reduced award due to alleged failure to mitigate.
Ms. Omerovic was awarded a total of $266,146.12 in damages, including $100,000 for general damages, $9,162.12 for special damages, $2,784 for past economic loss, $90,000 for future economic loss, and $64,200 for the cost of future care. Counsel could request a hearing to address any deductions required by the Insurance (Vehicle) Act. Ms. Omerovic was entitled to costs, and if the parties wished to submit arguments on costs, they were to do so in writing within 28 days according to an agreed schedule.
