ATV accidentes
A primera vista, un vehículo todo terreno o UTV puede parecer bastante inofensivo, sin embargo, algunos modelos pueden alcanzar velocidades de pasajeros como el coche, sin embargo, ofrecen poca o ninguna protección en caso de un accidente. Hay una serie de vehículos todo terreno en el mercado hoy que se han incorporado en los atributos negativos que los hacen muy probable que cause un accidente. Un reciente estudio de la Consumer Products Safety Commission ha puesto de manifiesto que hay un promedio de 700 muertes y 135.000 accidentes que ocurren anualmente a los conductores y pasajeros de vehículos todo terreno.
accidentes de ATV y UTV pueden ser catastróficas en que los vehículos no poseen muchos (o cualquier otro en algunos casos) los dispositivos de seguridad activa o pasiva. En muchos casos la falta de medidas de seguridad básicas, tales como cinturones de seguridad, dan lugar a los ocupantes de ser expulsados del vehículo. Además, el vehículo a menudo se cae en la víctima aplastando sus extremidades causando lesiones catastróficas.
Yamaha Rhino
El Yamaha Rhino es un muy popular vehículo todo terreno en gran parte porque de los de vía estrecha (la distancia lateral entre los neumáticos es como se ve desde la parte delantera o trasera) y su distancia entre ejes corta (la distancia longitudinal desde el punto central de la rueda delantera a la punto central de la rueda trasera), que hace que sea muy fácil de transportar en la parte trasera de una camioneta. El vehículo fue diseñado deliberadamente de este modo, sin embargo las dimensiones del vehículo crear una construida en desventaja al no proporcionar una base lo suficientemente amplia como para compensar el centro de la relativamente alta de gravedad del vehículo. El resultado final es un vehículo que es muy probable que darse la vuelta.
Este vehículo está diseñado y comercializado con el propósito de viajar sobre terreno desigual, y varias pistas de gradientes, y en diversas condiciones de tracción reducida. Combinar estos tipos de ambientes con un vehículo que es un candidato probable para una renovación y tiene una alta probabilidad muy de un inocente víctima de sufrir una lesión grave .
Yamaha es plenamente consciente de los numerosos accidentes que han ocurrido como resultado de este defecto aparente, sin embargo, han continuado la venta de estos vehículos todo terreno durante muchos años prácticamente sin cambios.
Our firm was hired by the minor child and parents of a young man who was killed in a motorcycle accident after being over served alcohol at a South Padre Island bar. The plaintiffs hired our firm to investigate the claim on the basis that the decedent was over the legal limit at the time of his death. In initial attempts to settle the case out of court, the defendants denied liability. Suit was filed soon thereafter.
The defendants initially argued that the decedent never consumed alcohol on their premises. Through physical evidence and deposition testimony to the contrary, we were able to conclusively prove that the decedent had indeed been drinking at the establishment.
The defendants then asserted allegations that the decedent's minor child was not actually his biological child, which would bar his claim entirely. A DNA test was performed and this argument was defeated.
The defendants then asserted the safe harbor defense. Our attorneys argued that the defendants did not qualify for safe harbor protection due to the fact that their servers were not all licensed providers. However, while this element was being addressed, our attorneys focused their attention on addressing the second element of the safe harbor defense regarding the bar's encouragement of the over service of alcohol. The defendants claimed that they would never serve the double-shot Bacardi cocktails that witnesses claimed the decedent drank several of. We sent private investigators into the bar to order the same drinks that the decedent consumed on the night of his death and the very same bar tenders who over served the decedent, without hesitation, served copious amounts of alcohol to the investigators, all of which was captured on hidden camera.
Once the safe harbor defense was defeated, the defendants argued that the decedent's BAC was low enough at the time of his death (as recorded by the hospital) that he would not have necessarily appeared obviously intoxicated to the servers and therefore the bar should not be held liable even if he had been over served. Eyewitness testimony refuted this.
Additionally, our firm's testifying medical expert reviewed the medical records related to the emergency helicopter flight that transported the decedent to the hospital after his accident. She determined that the EMS technicians administered numerous blood transfusions while in flight. Armed with this newfound data, our medical expert reverse extrapolated and determined conclusively that the decedent's BAC was actually in the range of .19-.21 at the time of the accident, though it was drastically diluted by the time he arrived at the hospital, which accounted for the relatively low BAC found in the hospital's medical records. This testimony proved to be pivotal in the case, resulting in a successful recovery for our clients.

An airline pilot suffered a shoulder injury resulting in surgery when he was sideswiped by an 18-wheeler. The case was resolved through litigation, as establishing liability was a contentious matter. The defendants claimed that the plaintiff made an illegal passing maneuver, but the evidence showed that the defendant made a sweeping turn and intruded upon our client's right of way.

A young woman suffered a back injury that required corrective surgery following a boating accident. The boat in question sped out of control and crashed into a landmass, throwing our client from the boat, as the result of a stuck throttle. Upon inspection of the boat, it was determined that a poor design led to the malfunction and a product liability lawsuit was brought against the manufacturer. The defendants argued that the boat was inappropriately piloted, however, the physical evidence depicted the cause of the accident quite clearly and the case was successfully resolved.
