In what circumstances will damages be awarded in a personal injury action?

In circumstances such as these where a significant possibility of future losses is proven, a damage award should be made. A helpful case in this area is Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140. In Perren at para. 12, Garson J.A. outlined two possible approaches for an award of damages: 1) where "a demonstrated pecuniary loss is quantifiable in a measurable way" (the earnings approach) and 2) where "loss is not measurable in a pecuniary way” (the capital asset approach).
