What is the quantum of damages for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Peragine v. Serena, 2012 BCSC 1218 (CanLII):
Plaintiff’s counsel argues that the quantum of damages does not depend upon the seriousness of the injury, but rather upon its ability to ameliorate the condition of the victim considering her particular situation. An award will vary in each case to meet the specific circumstances of the individual case: Lindal v. Lindal 1981 CanLII 35 (SCC), [1981] 2 SCR 629 at p. 637.
