In March of 2018, we received a call from the family of a man who was fatally injured while getting his car inspected on the north side of Houston.  Tragically, the man died 3 days later in the hospital from his head injuries that incapacitated him at the scene.  The day after the incident, the employees of the inspection center lied to the family.  They initially claimed that he must have fallen due to some medical conditions and statements like that were made to the paramedics who responded to the scene.  The family wanted answers and turned to us.  After seeking and getting a temporary restraining order not to destroy any digital evidence from the multiple camera systems at the shopping center where the inspection center was located, we hired forensic analysts to inspect the DVRs and other camera systems to determine what cameras were operating.  We also sought records of all the customers at the center to find key witnesses.  Our experts determined that the camera system at the inspection center was operating was recording, and that files were intentionally deleted after the incident.  We also found an eye witness who was waiting outside for his vehicle being serviced in one of the bays that witnessed the incident and aftermath.  He saw his van back out quickly by an employee and strike our client violently, sending him flying into the parking lot.  We learned that the property owner and manager were aware that the inspection center used the sidewalk as a driveway into the vehicle bays and also used the sidewalk as their waiting room in violation of the lease terms.  Everyone knew there were no warnings or barriers to prevent customers from walking down the sidewalk where vehicles could suddenly and without warning back out and hit them before they could move.  The case against the property owner and property manager resolved for a confidential sum.
