The pursuer sought damages after a tripping accident in which the pursuer sustained bruising of her buttock and ligamentous and muscular strain involving the lumbar and lumbo-sacral region of the spine and the left shoulder joint. The pain in her shoulder resolved after about nine months, and her lower back pain only occasionally recurred by the date of the proof, some two and half years after the accident. There was no question of any adjustment disorder or other psychological consequences.
