Heather Boal was injured in a crash during a road test she was administering in 2016. She has now successfully sued the woman taking the test and the man who taught her to drive.
A former ICBC driving examiner has been awarded more than $2.2 million for a driver’s test that went terribly wrong in Burnaby six years ago.
“Ms. Boal testified that in response, she instinctively yelled stop, pressed as hard as she could on the passenger side brake pedal, turned in her seat, and reached across and grabbed the steering wheel with her right hand,” stated the ruling. “She said she pulled the wheel hard to the right. She was able to alter the Toyota’s course away from the driver’s door of the other vehicle. The front driver’s side corner of the Toyota collided with the back wheel well of the other vehicle.
Before the accident, Boal had been social and active, according witnesses, but her injuries left her “a shadow of her former dynamic, outgoing self,” unable to perform most household duties, including child care. The defendants said Boal should get $936,169.53 minus up to 15 per cent for her own part in the crash.
