The evidence amply demonstrates that there is a real and substantial possibility that her future earning capacity has been impaired by the accident (see Villing v. Husseni, 2016 BCCA 422 at para. 17). The plaintiff is entitled to be compensated for that loss of capacity. I am satisfied that the plaintiff’s ability to earn an income as a hairdresser is at this time restricted by her physical and emotional impairments. However, I am also satisfied that with implementation of the recommendations put forward by the plaintiff’s experts, including continued treatment and assessments of her pain, psychological, psychiatric, and emotional conditions, as well as medication, she may in the future be able to return to work on a part-time basis, which has been her history ever since she has been trained as a hairdresser. Certainly she is less capable of other types of work because of her physical and emotional deficits caused by the accident.
