Courtney David Baskerville was first hit while riding his bike in the West End and later as he rode in a cab to Gastown.
A Vancouver man has been awarded $1.2 million by a Supreme Court of B.C. judge for injuries suffered in two accidents.
The defendants in the first case are Ping Liu, Guy Francois Duport and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Canada Corporation.Liability for both accidents has been admitted, Justice Sheri Ann Donegan said in her ruling released on Dec. 12. In the first accident, Baskerville was cycling to Stanley Park to do some laps with his new custom road bike. He was wearing his helmet.
In the period following, he had persistent headaches. He took no time off from his construction work as he did not want to jeopardize his income. However, Donegan said, his mood and mental health began to decline; he experienced panic attacks and began to show post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms.The second accident In the Dec. 22, 2018 accident, Baskerville was riding as a rear-seat passenger in a taxicab on the way to a Gastown pub.
“Instantly, he felt a severe, heavy and pounding headache, along with pain in his neck and lower back,” Donegan said.
