Case Details
A 23 year old Chicago man was struck by a right-turning dump truck with an attached trailer. The defense claimed that the bicyclist came off of a sidewalk and darted in front of the truck as it was entering an expressway on-ramp. The trucking company and its insurer defended the case aggressively, hiring an accident reconstruction expert who created a computer animation demonstrating what they believed was the bicyclist’s culpability for causing the crash. However, after extensive investigation we learned that the truck’s right turn signal was not working at the time of the collision and that our client had no warning that the vehicle was turning into his path.
Additional Notes
Defense claimed cyclist culpability, but firm proved truck's turn signal was not working.
