What is the impact of loss of future earning capacity on an individual’s earning capacity?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Loeppky v. Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, 2012 BCSC 7 (CanLII):
The assessment of loss of future earning capacity is not a mathematical exercise, and must deal to some extent with the unknowable. As Huddart J.A. put it in Rosvold v. Dunlop, 2001 BCCA 1 at para. 9, “[p]ossibilities and probabilities, chances, opportunities, and risks must all be considered, so long as they are a real and substantial possibility and not mere speculation”.
