We represented a woman cyclist who was hit by a truck turning to his right into a driveway. Our client was in the shoulder but the police accident reconstruction team that investigated the crash blamed our client for causing the crash. We retained an accident reconstruction expert and an expert that designed the software our client was utilizing during her ride to monitor her speed and other data. With the assistance of both experts, we were able to show why the police investigation was inadequate and its conclusion was wrong. Our client sustained significant orthopedic injuries to her pelvis that required numerous surgeries. After disclosing our experts, we recovered $1M, which was the insurance policy limits for the truck involved in the crash.
