The next thing to do when a case is filed against a driver is to prove his negligence in court. Testimonial evidence is one way of indicting a negligent driver. Witnesses account may be used to prove whether the driver has been negligent or not.
In a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charges against Donald Lee Bell, the daughter of Lettie Anderson who died in the crash testified that Bell attempted to turn left when it hit head-on an SUV in which Anderson was a passenger.
On the other hand, other witnesses including a truck driver hit by the SUV after the impact corroborated Bell’s allegations that he was driving “straight through the intersection at the time of the collision and never activated his turn signal.” A witness further added that he saw the SUV veered into Bell’s lane.
If convicted, Bell could face up to one year in jail. Bell’s attorney, Denny Forland wanted to call a reconstruction expert to rebut a CHP finding that Bell was at fault for violating the right of way.
In car accidents, witness play a vital role in determining whether the driver is at fault or not. To resist claims against the defendant, an experience personal injury attorney must be hired. Otherwise, the convicted driver may face jail sentence in addition to compensation claims.
