22 Nov Jokhadar v. Dehkhodaei

             Huda Jokhadar seeks compensation for injuries she suffered in a motor vehicle accident in the interchange at the north end of the Lions Gate Bridge in West Vancouver on October 18, 2006. Since the accident she has experienced back, neck, right shoulder and right arm pain and weakness that is, in part, a result of a soft tissue injury and, in part, a result of irritation of the nerve root caused by protrusion of a disc at the C5-6 level of her spine. In addition, Ms. Jokhadar says a bipolar affective disorder which has affected her for years has been exacerbated by the emotional and physical impact of the accident. That disorder is said to coexist with and contribute to post-traumatic stress disorder, which is also said to arise out of the accident.
