The single recovery principle requires a court to settle a matter once and for all by awarding a lump sum for past and future expenses.

a. True

b. False

Answer: True

Explanation: Under the single recovery principle if the plaintiff, that is, the person bringing up the case to the court, proves that he or she is eligible for any recovery for a particular harm then that recovery should be made and settled in once and for all by getting a lump sum amount from the payer.

Under this rule the plaintiff can not claim reward for same injury from two different entities.
