What is the likelihood that this collision was minor?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Pearlman v. Phelps Leasing Ltd., 2011 BCSC 1696 (CanLII):
Based on the evidence of the parties, and the photographs and estimate of minimal damage to the vehicles, I conclude that it is more likely than not that this collision was minor in nature. The forces to the plaintiff’s body were most likely minimal. The extent of the plaintiff’s injuries and complaints must be viewed in this context (Cahoon v. Brideaux, 2010 BCCA 228).
