Head Injury Victim Awarded $17.88 million

Technology Associates served as expert engineering consultants on a case related to a fall from a moving golf cart wherein the plaintiff was awarded $17.88 million. Plaintiff’s council alleged that the accident occurred while plaintiff was riding on the front of the moving vehicle with the driver’s knowledge but the defendant denied that the accident happened while the cart was moving and claimed to have no knowledge of how the plaintiff was injured. Technology Associates conducted analysis and simulations of the accident and showed that the evidence was consistent with a fall from a moving vehicle and inconsistent with the defendant’s claims. After our engineer testified during the bench trial the judge found for the plaintiff and awarded him $17.88 million. For more details, see the news article here.
