We recently recovered full automobile insurance liability coverage in a wrongful death case for the family of a beloved grandmother who was killed when a vehicle struck her as she crossed a busy street against the light during hours of darkness. Although the police accident investigators found that the driver was not at fault, we were able to establish through skillful questioning during depositions that the police investigation was inadequate and that even though the woman was crossing against the light, the driver had ample opportunity to observe her and avoid the collision had he been paying proper attention to the roadway. The driver’s insurance company initially denied the claim outright but ultimately paid its full policy benefits in settlement.
