I would not say, certainly not on this application today, that a person who had suffered a catastrophic injury involving quadriplegia or brain injury or the like could feel free not to take a positive step such as taking out a newspaper advertisement or posting an internet classified advertisement in an attempt to locate a tortfeasor, no matter how remote the
chances of that
being successful might seem; but in this case, given the claimant's relatively modest injuries as alleged and as attested to in his statement, I do not think that would have
been a
reasonable requirement on his part.
