Counsel for the defendants emphasized the much greater severity of the collision in 2003 in order to undermine the likelihood of the 2010 collision having caused more severe injuries. While as a matter of common sense and logic the degree of force involved in a collision may offer circumstantial evidence of the likely severity of injuries arising from it (see Cahoon v. Brideaux, 2010 BCCA 228 at para. 85) there is no evidence that the 2010 collision could not have produced the type of moderate soft tissue injuries that seem to have resulted, and common sense alone does not dictate any inference along those lines.
