Defendant was liable for breach of duties in causing the accident, but the plaintiff's account of severe and permanent injuries was disbelieved in large part; contemporaneous medical evidence and post‑accident employment established only minor physical injury and limited psychiatric sequelae (2% whole person impairment); assessment of damages allowed pain and suffering, pre‑trial loss of earnings and special damages less a credit of $209,000 paid under Employees' Compensation Ordinance, yielding net judgment of $127,000 together with specified interest and costs orders.
