What is the range of damages for loss of enjoyment of life and loss of amenities?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Clark v. Hebb, 2007 BCSC 883 (CanLII):
The purpose of an award of non-pecuniary damages in this case is to compensate the plaintiff for pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and loss of amenities. (There was no suggestion that a reduced expectation of life is a factor to be considered here.) The award should provide compensation which is fair and reasonable to both parties, fairness being measured against awards in comparable cases: Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alberta Ltd., 1978 CanLII 1 (SCC), [1978] 2 S.C.R. 229.
