What is the range of damages for psychological injuries in a motor vehicle accident case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nissen v. Durham Regional Police, 2015 ONSC 1268 (CanLII):
In my view, the psychological injury in this case is not as severe as those in issue in Cinar and Young v. Bella. I think something less in this case would be appropriate. The issue of whether the cap applies is moot because I do not intend to award damages that would exceed the cap.
