Expert Reports: Key to Causal Assessment
In complex injury cases, medical and economic experts determine the causal allocation. Their reports are decisive for judges, often appointed pursuant to article 200 Rv.
Types of Experts
- Medical: Causality pre-existing vs. accident-related damage.
- Vocational Expert: Attribution of income loss.
- Psychologist: Psychological aggravation.
Procedure
Parties draw up a questionnaire; the expert rules independently. Binding unless objection (article 201 Rv). Costs: often borne by the perpetrator.
Avoiding Errors
Select specialised experts. Case law ECLI:NL:RBROT:2023:234 warns against bias. Success factor: timely submission and targeted questions.
