Is a plaintiff entitled to compensation for future losses that he has shown are a real and substantial possibility?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wallman v. John Doe, 2014 BCSC 79 (CanLII):
The plaintiff is entitled to compensation for future losses he has shown are a real and substantial possibility, quantified by estimating the chance of the loss occurring: Athey at para. 27; Perren v. Lalari 2010 BCCA 140 at para. 30. The valuation of the loss may involve a comparison of what the plaintiff would probably have earned but for the Accident with what he will probably earn in his injured condition.
