Featured Case Study: Injured Party Listed as At Fault
and Victim in Motor Vehicle Collision (Legal Investigation)

Our agency was retained by a plaintiff’s attorney representing an injured party from a motor vehicle collision. The
attorney’s client was cut off by the adverse driver and forced a sudden stop resulting in rear-ending the adverse driver;
and resulting in serious injuries and extensive vehicle damage – the adverse driver was not hurt and had minimal
damage. Law enforcement investigated and cited the adverse driver as at fault, including admission on scene, and
pleading guilty at court. However, the insurance company denied liability because 1) it was a rear-end collision and they
determined the injured driver was following too close; and 2) the Traffic Accident Report (TAR) did not list their insured
as at fault – or identified at all in the report.

During the official investigation statements taken of both drivers, and one 911 caller witnessing the collision. Also on
scene, and having witnessed the collision, was an off-duty detective from the same department. These statements also
were not in the TAR. A third issue was also from the TAR – reporting the injured driver was in the inside lane.

What were our findings? Follow the link for details. We will add this – following the presentation of our report of
findings to the prosecution, the (now retired) lead detective was asked to respond and issue a new report. He didn’t.

What were the circumstances? What was the evidence? What were the findings?
