British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Iampietro v Leung, 2019 BCSC 1750 (CanLII):
The earnings approach is often used where the plaintiff had an established earnings pattern or career trajectory prior to the accident, and after the accident the plaintiff continued to work in the same position with either reduced hours or modified duties, or took early retirement from that position as a result of accident-related injuries: see, for example, Riding-Brown v. Jenkins, 2014 BCSC 382 at para. 25.
