What is the difference between a loss of homemaking capacity and future cost of care?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Beaudoin v Fennell, 2019 BCSC 852 (CanLII):
The plaintiff submits based on O’Connell v. Yung, 2012 BCCA 57, that claims for loss of homemaking capacity and for future cost of care are distinct. Future cost of care is for the value of certain services that must now be rendered to the plaintiff and are directly related to the expenses reasonably expected to be required. A loss of homemaking claim is a loss of the value of work that the plaintiff is prevented from doing due to her injuries.
