This was a disputed liability case in Van Nuys, California. Our client was going for her daily morning walk, when she was struck and killed by defendant who was driving through an intersection. At trial, the defense argued that the plaintiff was not paying attention and simply walked right in front of the defendant, making the accident unavoidable. At trial, during heavy cross examination of the defense accident reconstruction expert, the trial team was able to prove that this theory was a sham. Using scuff marks from her walking cane and shoes, plaintiff’s team was able to prove that she was in the pedestrian crosswalk and had nearly completed crossing the street at the time of impact. Brian Kim played an integral role on the litigation and trial team.
