MCLEAN V. PARMAR (2015)
The plaintiff's vehicle was struck by a city bus that ran a red light. In its decision, the court discussed
the serious impact of the injuries she suffered including chronic pain and psychological injuries. The
decision confirms that chronic pain and psychological injuries can cause serious impairment and are
therefore not minor injuries. Insurance companies can no longer impose the minor injury cap on
chronic pain or psychological injuries causing serious impairment.
"...Ms. McLean suffered from a variety of injuries as a result of being hit by a bus in January 2008. They include a
moderate whiplash injury to her neck and back, numbness and tingling into her right arm, a TMJ disorder and pain,
PTSD and depression, and a mild concussion, all of which caused her chronic pain which lasted two and a half
years. Her strains, sprains and WAD injuries are not "minor injuries" as defined in the MIR."
