The plaintiff, Pravdeep Sekhon, claimed injuries from two car accidents that occurred on February 18, 2017, and January 24, 2019. He alleged suffering constant lower back pain and experiencing career limitations as a bridge construction supervisor. The defendants accepted liability for the accidents but argued that Sekhon had exaggerated the extent of his damages and concealed subsequent injuries. They contended that his decision to change his career path was motivated by personal reasons rather than the injuries. The trial focused on evaluating Sekhon's past and future loss of earning capacity, taking into account the impact of the accidents on his career change and potential overtime income.
Mr. Sekhon was awarded damages against the defendants, totaling $437,348, which included $47,250 for non-pecuniary damages, $30,484 for past loss of earnings, $336,055 for loss of future earning capacity, $10,527 for costs of future care, and $13,032 for special damages. He was entitled to his costs at Scale B, with potential adjustments based on offers or other matters. The parties had the option to address costs within 30 days. They could also seek clarification or resolution on other issues through further appearances. Counsel for both parties were appreciated for their cooperation, courtesy, and well-prepared presentations during the trial.
