The plaintiff, Linda Patricia Klimek, was involved in a rear-end collision in Surrey, British Columbia on April 3, 2017, and sought $597,623.10 in damages. The defendant, Gregory John Lockhart, argued against the claim, questioning the causal link between the accident and Ms. Klimek's current symptoms. He suggested her symptoms were due to a pre-existing condition, citing her quick return to work, reduced medication use, and fewer complaints about pain. Ms. Klimek presented evidence supporting the link and acknowledged a 20% reduction for her pre-existing condition. Ultimately, the court awarded her $280,696 in damages.
