In Hisenaj v. Kuehner, the Supreme Court found that expert testimony based on data from low impact crashes with human test subjects was properly admitted in a fender bender accident that resulted in a low jury verdict. The case was watched closely by both the plaintiff and defense bars and drew amicus curiae appearances from the Association of Trial Lawyers of America-New Jersey (ATLA) and the New Jersey Defense Association.
