In the case of Mulvey v Ross, plaintiff Deanna Mulvaney had filed a claim for damages resulting from injuries sustained in a car accident on October 21, 2016. Defendant Heidi Lilianne Ross had admitted liability and had not presented any witnesses during the trial. The issues under consideration were whether the accident had caused Ms. Mulvaney's injuries and whether she had been entitled to damages. Prior to the accident, Ms. Mulvaney had been physically active, participating in activities like hiking, swimming, and other physical tasks. She had worked as a residential painter, which had entailed physically demanding responsibilities. The accident had taken place when her car had been struck from behind, leading to her sustaining injuries. Damages had been awarded to Ms. Mulvaney by the court, encompassing $110,000 for non-pecuniary damages, $30,000 for past loss of earning capacity, $240,000 for loss of future earning capacity, $2,000 for the cost of future care, and $6,478 for special damages. The aggregate sum of awarded damages had amounted to $388,478. The court had permitted the parties to submit written submissions on costs if they so desired.
