What is the impact of negligence on a young woman's ability to enjoy full, pain-free use of her body?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from MacDonald v. Kemp, 2014 BCSC 1079 (CanLII):
Prior to the accident the plaintiff was healthy and active young woman in the prime of her life. The defendant’s negligence has compromised her ability to enjoy the full, pain-free use of her body. I have said in other cases, and will repeat here, that for a young woman such as the plaintiff to be forced now to deal with physical deficits that do not afflict most of us until middle age is an unfortunate and serious matter (see, for example, Aubin v. Ball, 2013 BCSC 962 at para. 129).
