When will a plaintiff have to prove that there is a real and substantial possibility that he will incur a future loss of income arising from a motor vehicle accident?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Farbatuk v. Lagrimas, 2014 BCSC 1879 (CanLII):
Defendants’ counsel submitted a plethora of reasons why an award of this magnitude was not supported by the evidence. While I do not agree with all the reasons submitted by the defendants, I agree that the plaintiff has not established a real and substantial possibility that he will incur a future loss of income arising from the motor vehicle accident. Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140, stands for the proposition that if an award is to be made for a future loss of earning capacity, a plaintiff must always prove that there is a real and substantial possibility of a future event leading to an income loss.
