Is there any case law that supports the argument that a plaintiff was entitled to a higher income than he would have if he had not been injured in a motor vehicle accident?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Davies v. Elston, 2014 BCSC 2435 (CanLII):
Here the issue very much turns on the question of whether there was ever a real and substantial possibility the plaintiff would have earned more income than he did, but for the accident, or whether this is mere speculation: Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140 at para. 30.
