Torrance, CA personal injury attorney Roger Booth talks about a case involving a horse that ran over a guy’s car and killed him. He explains that several years ago, we handled a unique wrongful death case that took an unexpected turn. The incident involved a gentleman driving down the road when a horse suddenly emerged and landed on his car, tragically resulting in his death. However, what made this case particularly intriguing was the belief that the horse had been frightened by a roaming tiger in the hills of southern California at that time.

As the case unfolded, we embarked on an unconventional path. We had to enlist the expertise of a tiger specialist to examine paw prints we discovered near the accident site. Our goal was to trace the tiger’s movements over a period of a few weeks and create a timeline of its whereabouts. Through our investigation, we were able to present compelling evidence indicating that the tiger had likely been in the vicinity, supported by a paw print found on the fence surrounding the horse corral from where the horse had escaped.

Ultimately, our efforts led to a favorable settlement against both the horse owner and the tiger owner. This case stands as a captivating example of the unexpected twists and turns that can arise in legal proceedings, demonstrating our commitment to pursuing justice for our clients in even the most unique circumstances.
