The following excerpt is from Tabatabaei-Zavarei v Farina, 2021 BCSC 1082 (CanLII):
… courts have recognized that the loss of function for a disabled individual can have a magnified effect. In [Morgan v. Scott, 2012 BCSC 1237], Voith J. commented on the effect of injuries on an individual already suffering from a number of chronic conditions: chronic pain and respiratory failure. These conditions were aggravated in severity and frequency of onset as a result of the injury in that case.
