What is the range of general damages in a personal injury case?

In Fredette v. Wiebe, the court assessed only general damages, and found no basis for any award of pecuniary damages. The approach I propose to take is completely consistent with that result.

In Cherry v. Borsman, pecuniary damages were awarded, but only in respect of the extra costs of raising the child that arose as a result of harm that the defendant inflicted on the foetus. In effect, no pecuniary losses were awarded for wrongful birth; the pecuniary losses that were awarded were in respect of personal injuries to the child. Again, the case is consistent with the approach I propose to take.
