Predicting the Future: Tips for Medical Experts Four things to consider if you are asked to give an expert medical opinion in a personal injury matter.

In personal injury trials, defendants often resist plaintiffs' request that the jury make an itemized award for medical and rehabilitation expense claims. (Defendants perceive that a lump sum award is more likely to be smaller than itemized awards.) This recent court decision (starting at para. 24) demonstrates that defendants do so at their peril. If a lump sum award includes expenses that are both covered and not covered by collateral benefits, the defendant will lose entitlement to credit or deduction for any of those benefits.

CanLII - 2018 ONSC 145 (CanLII) [1] These two actions arise out of motor vehicle accidents which occurred on May 3, 2007 and October 1, 2013. On May 11, 2017 after almost eight weeks of trial, the jury awarded damages in each of the actions.

Recent court decision helpfully suggests (without explicitly deciding) that injured plaintiffs may have privacy interest in Facebook (and related communications with “friends”) that will trump defendants’ requests for disclosure.
