Vehicle Event Data Recorder Download Used in Motorist Litigation

There were no witnesses to an intersectional collision that badly injured an elderly woman who was a passenger in a car driven by her husband. The other driver, who was uninsured, claimed to have the green light, but our clients also contended they had the green light. The uninsured motorist’s vehicle had a data event recorder that stored information such as its speed in the last twenty seconds before impact, the timing of brake application, and when it slowed and stopped. The deposition of the defendant driver revealed major inconsistencies between his testimony as to his driving actions before the impact and the information downloaded from the event recorder. That focus on credibility issues regarding his testimony led to the case being settled at mediation.
