In the published case of Parker v. Lemmon 2012 BSCS 27 ( link ) a 43 year old woman was injured in two motor vehicle collisions, the first being less serious than the second.
[9] The injuries she asserts were caused by the accidents are pain in the area of her cervical spine, right shoulder, and low back; right arm numbness and tingling; headaches; and left shoulder pain.
As both collisions resulted in the same overlapping injuries, the case proceeded on the basis that the Court need not consider what percentage each accident contributed to her injuries.
[51] The damages of the plaintiff are assessed as follows:
(1) Non-pecuniary damages in the amount of $45,000;
(2) Loss of Capital Asset in the amount of $25,000;
(3) Loss of Housekeeping Capacity in the amount of $1,500;
(4) Cost of Future Care in the amount of $1,500; and
(5) Special Damages calculated as above noted.
