British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Biefeld v. Neetz, 2016 BCSC 689 (CanLII):
Chronic pain will not always result in an award for future loss of earning capacity, but the facts may demonstrate that a plaintiff’s chronic pain will result in a substantial possibility that her pain would adversely affect her ability to work: see Clark v. Kouba, 2014 BCCA 50, at paras. 33-39.
