Brian Del Gatto (Partner-Phoenix, AZ), William Cook (Partner-Detroit, MI) and Katherine Beres (Associate-Detroit, MI) obtained summary judgment in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, on behalf of Wilson Elser's client, an international Canadian logistics company. The plaintiff alleges that when his vehicle collided with a semi-truck driven by our client's driver, the driver was at fault. However, the dash camera video of the accident clearly shows the driver remained in his lane on the expressway and that the plaintiff lost control of his vehicle, causing the collision. When the plaintiff's counsel refused to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit, Brian, Bill and Kate filed a dispositive motion explaining how the video demonstrated that the plaintiff caused the accident, not our client's driver. The federal judge in a strong decision found that the collision was 100 percent the fault of the plaintiff and that no reasonable juror would conclude otherwise. The court therefore dismissed the case. This decision saved the client insurer significant legal fees and exposure to serious injuries as well as a large settlement demand. This decision supports that the use of dash cams in the commercial trucking setting has a positive return on investment.
