These matters relate to two motor vehicle accidents which took place on April 26, 2005 and May 28, 2007.  Liability was admitted for both of the accidents. 

The first accident involved the Defendant rolling his vehicle onto the Plaintiff's foot.  The second accident involved the Plaintiff being rear-ended. 

At the time of trial, the Plaintiff had ongoing complaints of foot pain.  The Plaintiff had back pain which pre-existed the second motor vehicle accident.  His back pain was exacerbated and resolved within a relatively short period of time. 

The judge provided the following award:

             Non-Pecuniary Loss - MVA #1          $45,000.00

             Non-Pecuniary Loss - MVA #2            10,000.00
