MMP&S partners Michael J. Lynott and Crystal L. Arocha secured a complete defense verdict in a devastating motor vehicle accident case, where Plaintiff’s vehicle was literally destroyed and was even struck again after the initial accident.   Video prior to, during and after the accident was extremely shocking.  Utilizing an accident reconstruction expert, and representing a well-respected, nationwide roadside services emergency response corporation and their tow truck driver, the defense team was able to prove that the Defendants’ tow truck had been properly parked and was wholly within the shoulder, had all of its emergency lights on and was fully operational, when Plaintiff rear-ended the legally and properly parked tow truck, at more than 20 miles per hour over the highway speed limit.  During trial, Plaintiff admitted ‘some’ negligence, and argued ‘some’ negligence should also be found against the Defendants.    After two hours of jury deliberations, with many jury questions asked of the witnesses during trial and again of the Judge during deliberations, the jury rendered a complete defense verdict.
