What is the test for future care costs for a plaintiff who cannot regain full restoration to her pre-accident condition?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Brooks v Habib, 2019 BCSC 1398 (CanLII):
When full restoration to the plaintiff’s pre-accident condition cannot be achieved, the court should strive to provide the compensation necessary to achieve the provision of adequate future care: Milina at para. 172. The purpose of an award for future care is to compensate a plaintiff for costs which reasonably may be expected to be incurred to preserve and promote the plaintiff’s mental and physical health: Milina at para. 78; Gigmac v. Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, 2012 BCCA 351 at para. 30.
