Faulty Repair Work On Vehicle Leads To Woman’s Death

Case Overview

In this automotive mechanics case, the plaintiff from Kansas was driving her vehicle when it became disabled, forcing her to pull over to the side of the road. A few weeks prior, the vehicle had been serviced because of an issue with the vehicle’s timing belt, and it is alleged that the timing belt malfunctioned again, causing the car to become disabled. The plaintiff was driving at approximately 40 mph when the car began to slow and a piece of the vehicle body fell off, at which point the check engine light came on. The plaintiff got out of her car to retrieve the piece, at which point she was struck by a drunk driver. The attorney handling this case is in need of an expert to retrieve the EDR data from the other vehicle, examine the plaintiff’s car, and determine if any faulty repair work was originally done on the vehicle.
