British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nicolls v. B.C. Cancer Agency, 1999 CanLII 6531 (BC SC):
I do not find the decisions to which I was referred to be of particular assistance. As I stated in Souto v. Anderson (1994), B.C.J. No. 1377: In the decisions of our courts to date, where such an award has been made, the plaintiff's injuries have been described as catastrophic, near catastrophic or horrendous. They have commonly involved paraplegia, quadriplegia, and brain damage, such as to warrant concluding there was no prospect of marriage or a similar permanent relationship with another person.
