If You've Been Injured in a Car Accident, Learn What Experts Help Prove You Case Here! Here!

Posted By Mainetti Mainetti & O'Connor || 23-Apr-2014

Some experts are common to all types of litigation, such as the economist or vocational expert. But other experts have very specific niches in litigation that can help prove your case. For instance, car accident reconstruction experts are used in most contentious car accident litigation, and biomechanical experts who are expert in injuries caused by car accidents are also heavily used when proving how injuries were caused. Your experienced Poughkeepsie car accident attorney will understand how to wield these experts to your advantage to make the high cost of each expert pay off to maximize the compensation you are entitled to.

Quite plainly, experts are used to bolster a plaintiff’s case. The expert, disinterested in the outcome, gives a scientific explanation for the accident. Additionally, however, the defendant in most cases is not going to openly admit to his or her negligence. The defendant may also offer a conflicting story; maybe one that alleges how the plaintiff was negligent.

Accident reconstructionists will use evidence in order to recreate thecar accident in order to determine how the collision happened. Physical evidence at the scene, such as tire tracks, skid marks, broken glass, etc. will inform the expert’s opinion. The types of vehicles involved, the road conditions, the weather conditions will also be used by the expert. The reconstructionist will also examine the vehicles themselves in order to determine if the damages could have been caused by the evidence inspected. Photographs will be analyzed, as will videos. Witness accounts will be reviewed as well.

Also consider the plaintiff who simply cannot remember what happened because he or she suffered a traumatic brain injury during the collision. One’s inability to remember will not bar a claim against a negligent driver because the experienced attorney will use an expert in accident reconstruction to help prove the case. These experts are so well regarded that their findings can help the attorney receive a favorable settlement without having to go to trial.

Once the cause of the car accident is ascertained, the plaintiff will also try to prove that the injury was caused by the negligence and the accident itself. This is because defense attorneys are likely to say that the plaintiff’s injury was either pre-existing, or that the plaintiff’s injury could not have been caused by the accident.

Biomechanical experts are trained in knowing how certain forces cause specific injuries, and they know how much force is necessary to cause a specific injury. These experts will definitively show a jury how sudden collisions can cause neck injuries, back injuries, brain injuries, and the like, and even if there was no direct impact with those parts of the body.
