What is the impact of a soft tissue injury to the lower back and hip of a plaintiff?

In De Groot v. Heller, 2018 BCSC 14, the plaintiff was a 32-year-old woman, who suffered soft tissue injuries to her lower back and hip in a motor vehicle accident, which were found by Mr. Justice Greyell to have aggravated her underlying arthritic condition in her left hip. There was no evidence connecting her prior back complaints with back complaints brought on by the accident. Five years after the accident, the plaintiff continued to suffer from pain in her lower back and hip, which prevented her from enjoying the activities she enjoyed prior to the accident. She worked in a soil remediation firm, and while she had not missed time from work, she had difficulty sitting for long periods.
