What is the test for determining whether there is causation in a motor vehicle accident?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Anderson v. Rizzardo, 2015 BCSC 2349 (CanLII):

The causation test does not demand scientific precision and is not to be applied too rigidly. Causation is a practical question of fact which can best be answered through the application of ordinary common sense: Snell v. Farrell, 1990 CanLII 70 (SCC), [1990] 2 S.C.R. 311.
