Confidential Settlement: Animating Impact Points After Tow Truck Forces Car Off Bridge

After a tow truck driver pulling a tractor-trailer crashed into a stopped vehicle on an Interstate bridge, the tow truck lost control and struck another vehicle with enough force to send it careening into the Ohio River. The Plaintiff was found dead in the river.

Tad Thomas, Esq., needed a presentation that would show clear liability on behalf of the tow truck driver, but we lacked the foundation necessary to accurately recreate every single frame of this event.

However, we did have enough data to accurately determine the most important moments in time needed to establish the Defendants’ reckless negligence. We used police reports, photographic evidence, and the mechanical engineer’s data to animate a series of stills that depicted the most important impact points, and we reinforced those snapshots with photographic evidence to anchor the animation’s foundational accuracy.

The presentation helped Mr. Thomas show the Defense how the tow truck driver failed to keep a lookout ahead, failed to keep his vehicle under reasonable control, and failed to exercise the ordinary care and skill of a reasonable commercial truck driver. The animation also helped Mr. Thomas successfully negotiate a confidential settlement.
