Does a plaintiff have to suffer pain in the course of her employment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Middleton v. Morcke and Lee, 2007 BCSC 804 (CanLII):
The defendants argue the fact that a plaintiff may suffer pain in the course of her employment (as opposed to experiencing disability), can be accounted for in the award of general damages, rather than by making an award for loss of earning capacity: Radford v. Drobot, 2005 BCSC 293.
