M-I-S-T- Case Specialist
Soft tissue injuries resulting from otherwise minor accidents are difficult to prove. Often by the time the case gets to an attorney, the vehicle has been repaired, and the photographs conveniently misplaced. Besides the body shop, the claims adjustor, who represents the insurance company, is often the only person to have inspected the vehicle, creating a conflict of interest. The insurance companies also bring in engineers, who often have no real-world experience and have not inspected the vehicle prior to testifying about the accident. The typical response will be that lacking the "Proper Property Damage," the striking speed could not have exceeded x miles per hour and, since the speed of the bullet vehicle was found to be so low, virtually no energy was transferred to the occupant(s) of the target vehicle. This is a hole in the system. The involvement of high-priced experts in every injury claim is not only expensive but often cost-prohibitive in this type of litigation and recovery limits.
Expert Witness
This is the extensive hidden property damage a Blue Eagle inspection revealed.
For a comparatively minor cost, an independent vehicle inspection can help identify the mechanism of injuries and undocumented repairs or unnoticed property damage. Each inspection comes with supporting documentation and photographs that could possibly give you the leverage and ammunition to discredit expert testimony or enhance recovery. John T. Martin is a pioneer in this area of expertise and specializing in M-I-S-T- cases and hidden property damage.
The bumper cover and support were the only damage the adjuster and body shop estimated for repairs.
