Does rheumatoid arthritis affect future earnings?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Knopf v. Knopf, 2002 BCSC 122 (CanLII):
In light of the analysis in Athey v. Leonati, 1996 CanLII 183 (SCC), [1996] 3 S.C.R. 458 at paragraphs 31-33, even if there were an accident-related diminution of the plaintiff’s future earning capacity, there would have to be an apportionment between that loss of capacity and the loss attributable to rheumatoid arthritis which would necessarily reduce or eliminate the accident-related claim altogether.
