O’Grady v Virk
Sharon O'Grady was involved in two motor vehicle collisions, known as the "First Accident" and "Second Accident." She claimed that the accident injuries had a significant impact on her physical and psychological well-being. The defendants admitted liability, so the trial focused on assessing damages. O'Grady experienced back pain, migraines, and depression, which prevented her from working as a dog groomer and affected her personal life. The defendants argued that her claimed damages were excessive and that she had pre-existing conditions. They also suggested that her symptoms could improve with proper treatment. The court awarded O'Grady damages as follows: Non-pecuniary Damages: $157,250; Loss of Past Wage Loss: $116,497; Loss of Future Income: $479,576; Costs of Future Care: $2,500; Special Damages: $4,500. The total award amounted to $760,323. O'Grady was entitled to costs at Scale B, with a chance to address adjustments within 30 days. The parties could also appear for adjustments regarding prejudgment interest or other matters. Counsel received appreciation for their assistance throughout the case.
