Although there are no definitive answers to this question, because the money will depend on numerous factors, there are some monetary caps that can give you a general idea of the awards you may receive. Unlike in the United States, in Canada the awards for pain and suffering caused in a personal injury incident are maxed at around $310,000 - $330,000. However, it is important to note that in Canada, there are no cap amounts on damages awarded for: income that you lost from before the accident and income that you will lose in the future because of the accident, past and future attendant care, a loss of the ability to be competitive in the work place, and others.
