British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Power v. White, 2010 BCSC 1084 (CanLII):

A non-exhaustive list of common factors that may influence an award of non-pecuniary damages are: age of the plaintiff; nature of the injury; severity and duration of pain; disability; emotional suffering; loss or impairment of life; impairment of family, marital and social relationships; impairment of physical and mental abilities; loss of lifestyle. Stoicism of the plaintiff should not reduce the award: Stapley v. Hejslet, 2006 BCCA 34 at para. 46.
