In a personal injury trial arising from a motor vehicle accident, the defendant brought a mid-trial motion to preclude the plaintiff's accounting expert from testifying.
The expert calculated the plaintiff's loss of income based on hypothetical scenarios regarding her unreported tip income as a server.
The defendant argued the reports lacked objective data and were prejudicial.
The court dismissed the motion, finding the expert evidence met the Mohan criteria for admissibility and that the jury could be trusted to evaluate the factual assumptions underpinning the expert's calculations.
