What is the range of general damages for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nissen v. Durham Regional Police, 2015 ONSC 1268 (CanLII):
It is difficult to fix a reasonable amount for the damages suffered in this case. Any damages awarded must take into account any aggravating features. There is no separate head of “aggravated” damages; rather any aggravating features are taken into account in fixing an amount for general damages: see McIntyre v. Grigg, supra, at para. 50.
