Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant proved natural causation between the collision and the alleged injuries and resulting loss
Solution extraite
The claimant did not prove, even on a balance of probabilities, that the accident caused the asserted complaints and incapacity.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court upheld the lower court's critical assessment of the medical reports and witness evidence. Given the low collision severity, the absence of reliable contemporaneous diagnosis of concussion, the inconsistent accident history given to doctors, and alternative explanations such as pre-existing complaints and high stress, the finding of no proven causal link was not arbitrary.
