What are some cases dealing with soft tissue injuries to the neck, mid and upper back, shoulder and upper trapezius areas?

Plaintiff’s counsel cites the case of Bjarnason v. Parks, 2009 BCSC 48, as having some similarity to the plaintiff’s situation. In that case Madam Justice Ballance dealt with the injuries to a 28-year-old woman who was an avid athlete. She was found to have sustained soft tissue injuries to her neck and her mid and upper back, her shoulder and her upper trapezius areas, and those injuries caused her pain and discomfort including headaches. The acute phase of her injuries spanned a time of approximately six to eight weeks after the accident and during that time her pain was often intense and her headaches severe and persistent. Long after the initial stage her symptoms were prone to being aggravated by her required posture and movements at work such as prolonged sitting, bending and leaning forward and they were severely and repeatedly aggravated during the time that she taught kindergarten in particular. Fortunately by approximately two months after the accident she was fully engaged in her recreational pursuits except for running which she did not fully resume until later. Her symptoms had improved significantly. Even though she was ultimately able to resume her sports and dance without physical impairment it was found that her back and neck discomfort were not completely resolved when she did so and her injuries made her susceptible to flare-ups and would continue to do so.
