What is the test for determining where a plaintiff is injured in a motor vehicle accident?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Pangli v. Pangli, 2009 BCSC 1070 (CanLII):

Finally, the defendants rely on O'Connor v. Chapman, 2007 BCSC 657. In that case, the motor vehicle accident happened in British Columbia but liability was admitted and the only issue was damages. A judge of the court found that Alberta was the more appropriate forum because the plaintiff was a resident of Alberta, all the medical witnesses were in Alberta, and the plaintiff had been previously injured in an accident in Alberta.
