Everyone has heard of a hit and run accident, but what about a miss and run? Occasionally, a defendant will present a case that an accident was not caused by him, but rather by a mystery vehicle that never actually made contact with the involved vehicles, but rather caused the defendant to hit another vehicle and then flee the scene. With no information available regarding this vehicle other than the defendant's word, is a phantom vehicle spooky enough to scare away your recovery?
On this week's episode, Rebecca and Steve discuss the question of proof and whether an alleged vanished vehicle could hold the majority of liability in a loss. Does a phantom vehicle equal a sudden emergency? Does it absolve the Defendant of liability? Don't bypass this episode and miss (and run) out.
