British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Stark v Bartier, 2019 BCSC 1384 (CanLII):
The court looks to awards in comparable cases as guide posts, recognizing that every case must be decided on its own facts. The focus must be on the effect of the injuries suffered on the plaintiff's life, not the anatomical details of the injury. (Rizzolo v. Brett, 2010 BCCA 398, at para. 39)
