What is the range of damages for a plaintiff who suffered a motor vehicle accident?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Olson v. Yelland, 2016 BCSC 216 (CanLII):

Such an award is not a precise exercise, but rather an attempt to predict the plaintiff’s future needs. The goal is to place the plaintiff in the same position she would have been in had the Accident not happened: Izony v. Weidlich, 2006 BCSC 1315.
