The driver of the Caltrans vehicle, who hit our client, admitted that she herself has no reason to believe that the victim staged the accident or jumped on purpose. Caltrans has no witnesses or any other evidence to support their claim that the accident was staged. I am anxious to see how this case will turn out. I have a feeling that this case will actually go to trial, as Caltrans appears to be known for insisting on their version of the events no matter what new evidence is presented to them. I am also disappointed to see that a government agency, which is supposed to be trying to do "the right thing" continues to deny liability in a situation where they should be compensation my client for her injuries and damages, instead of continuing to fight this case.
In one of our cases involving a pedestrian in Oakland, who was hit by a Caltrans vehicle when she was crossing a street in a residential area, the Department of Transportation accusing our client of staging the accident and jumping in front of the vehicle on purpose. The only reason that they make this outrageous accusation is because approximately one year before the accident, our client had suicidal thoughts which she reported to her doctor and as due to which she voluntarily subumitted herself to a crisis facility that helps people who are thinking about comitting suicide.
