Commentary Having
been in this business for over two decades now, I'm aware of the
conclusions people will arrive at when they read the news feed. I can
say however, that many of the one-car accidents we have litigated in the
past actually revealed another issue rather than driver error.
Especially when an accident has no witnesses, a meticulous
investigation, aside from the police reports, should be used for
liability purposes. The investigation should check the
integrity of the vehicle for any manufacturing defects or flaws. We
litigated an accident with a similar fact pattern that found a vehicle
with defective brakes. The driver of that vehicle tried to apply the
brakes around a turn and lost control. A scenario like this could point
fault at two possible parties. First, a company that services the system
could be faulted if they failed to properly repair the system.
Conversely, if the system was defective from the onset, a manufacturer
could assume some liability. Either scenario really points towards to
the efficacy of the investigation in revealing possible
remedies.
