In a motor vehicle case, is a plaintiff required to obtain a report from a bio mechanical expert to demonstrate that low speed impact collisions can result in injuries?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nichiporuk v. McVean, 2005 ABQB 647 (CanLII):
In addition, a bio mechanical expert will be retained to provide a report for the purpose of showing that low speed impact collisions can result in injuries. As in Waddell v. Stratulak, [2001] A.J. No. 1742 at paragraph 8 the evidence from a bio mechanical expert in this action will further complicate the issues at trial.
