Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Little Plume v. Weir, 1998 ABQB 523 (CanLII):
I adopt the standard of care for an award of damages for cost of future care set out in Milina v. Bartsch (supra, pages 82-84), being that there must be an objective medical justification for claims for cost of future care and that the claims must be reasonable. I turn now to specific areas of compensation. 1. Accommodation
