Lalonde v Lyall, 2019 BCSC 2259. Counsel for the defendants in a personal injury matter arising from a motor vehicle accident. The plaintiff sought damages in excess of $750,000. The court accepted the defendants’ argument that damages should be deducted to account for the plaintiff’s pre-existing health conditions and post-accident life circumstances unrelated to the accident. The court also found that the opinion evidence of the plaintiff’s vocational expert “has no real value in assessing [the plaintiff’s] loss of earning capacity arising from the collision.” The court awarded under $240,000 in damages.
