Trucking accidents are always serious due to the size of the vehicles involved. A notable case involved a driver who was rear-ended by a semi-truck on the freeway after coming to a stop for traffic. The truck driver alleged that the client had cut him off and slammed on the brakes. However, using data from both the truck and the car, the firm was able to present this information to an expert who created an animation demonstrating that the truck driver’s testimony was not feasible; the events could not have unfolded as he described. In fact, it was shown that the client had been stopped for several seconds before being rear-ended by the truck. This revelation significantly undermined the truck driver’s case, leading to a quick settlement.
