In 2006, Marnetta Felix and her boyfriend, Kevin Hearne, were involved in a serious car accident. The accident occurred because Hearne, who was intoxicated at the time, grabbed the wheel of Felix’s car while she was driving and drove them off of the road.
The trial judge rejected the defense analysis, and awarded Mary over $750,000 in damages, including $125,000 for her pain and suffering, $500,000 for the lifetime impairment to her income earning capacity, and over $69,000 in compensation for treatment like physiotherapy, counselling, and heavy duty home support. This is a new high-water award in British Columbia case law for a young person with partial, permanent disability.
