Is a plaintiff entitled to compensation for the costs of restoring her to her pre-accident condition?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rozendaal v. Landingin, 2013 BCSC 24 (CanLII):
A plaintiff is entitled to compensation for the costs of future care necessary to restore her to her pre-accident condition in so far as that is possible. On the evidence, the costs must be both medically justified and reasonable: Milina at 84. They must also be costs which the plaintiff is likely to incur. Costs for items or services which the plaintiff has not used in the past may be inappropriate to include in the future care award: Izony v. Weidlich, 2006 BCSC 1315 at para. 74.
