An accident reconstructionist offered favorable courtroom testimony for the young University of Missouri-Columbia student who was severely injured in 2005 when two vehicles struck her bicycle as she was heading to class.  Krysten Chambrot was struck by defendant #1's Miata, catapulted into the air and then ran over by a truck operated by defendant #2.  Chambrot suffered catastrophic injury to her lower extremities, resulting in amputation and mangle.  She also broke her jaw during the collision.

Expert testimony is critical in cases where the facts are in dispute.  In this case, the facts of the crash itself were in contention, requiring the use of a reconstructionist to determine speed of the vehicles, contact points, and ultimately, fault.  Expert recontructionists rely upon evidence from the scene, witness statements, and mathematical formulas in creating their account of what really happened during the collision.  Expert testimony such as this can be critical in determining whether a driver was negligent, negligent per se, or even reckless.
