B4  Loss of expectation of life

A score out of 3 is assessed.

Using Table B5—Worksheet: calculation of non-economic loss (Step 1), the score for loss of expectation of life is combined with the scores derived from Tables B1.1—Pain, B1.2— Suffering), B2.1—Mobility, B2.2—Social relationships, B2.3—Recreation and leisure activities and B3—Other loss.

Loss of expectation of life is restricted to a maximum of three points because of the value placed on it by the courts in damages cases.
