In a landmark decision by the Ontario Superior Court, a Hamilton jury awarded over $1 million in damages to a plaintiff injured in a 2016 motorcycle accident, far exceeding the defendant's final settlement offer. The plaintiff, who suffered serious injuries when a vehicle unsafely entered an intersection and collided with his motorcycle, had originally sought $2 million. Despite multiple settlement offers from the defendant, the case proceeded to trial, resulting in a significant jury award that included general damages, past loss of income, and future medical expenses. The court's ruling on costs and interest further increased the total amount the defendant was ordered to pay, highlighting the importance of seeking adequate compensation in personal injury cases.
