Expert Evidence Can Be The Key

Expert evidence is routinely required in order to successfully pursue a personal injury claim. In some cases, the lack of expert evidence can be catastrophic. This month, the Court of Appeal in Askar v. Morton confirmed the decision of the motion's judge to dismiss the Plaintiff's claim. In that case, it was alleged that the infant Plaintiff was injured in a motor vehicle accident while still in the womb.The Plaintiff was unable to obtain an expert medical opinion saying that the infant appellant’s medical condition was probably caused or contributed to by the motor vehicle accident. The dismissal of the claim was upheld on appeal. This is a sharp reminder of the importance of expert evidence in personal injury cases.
