British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ferguson v Watt, 2018 BCSC 1587 (CanLII):
Insofar as possible, the plaintiff should be put in the position he or she would have been in but for the injuries caused by the defendant’s negligence: Lines v. W & D Logging Co. Ltd., 2009 BCCA 106 at para. 185. The essential task of the court is to compare the likely future of the plaintiff’s working life if the accident had not happened with the plaintiff’s likely future working life after the accident: Gregory v. Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, 2011 BCCA 144 at para. 32.
