A car pulled out from a hotel parking lot at night just as a young man on a motorcycle was riding by. The motorcyclist collided with the side of the car and died at the scene. The investigating police officers concluding the accident was entirely the fault of the bike rider for traveling at an excessive speed….Even though the driver of the car was the only eyewitness and blamed the deceased rider, we were able to prove through accident reconstruction and analysis of the shattered windshield glass at the scene that the car driver had lied about what happened. The location of the broken glass definitively proved the car driver exited the parking lot without stopping to determine if the road was safe to enter. Settlement occurred during trial and provided significant financial proceeds to the innocent victim’s mother.
