NOTICE TO LAWYERS

   A prominent lawyer has stated that airbag forensics, 
biomechanics, and accident reconstruction are "whore 
businesses" whose practitioners are 95% inadequately
trained quacks. A federal judge in Wilson v. Woods also
said as much in an important decision disqualifying 
a mechanical engineer. Before you read this website and 
consider hiring any expert, we urge you to read a short 
but most informative article titled: 
"New Jersey lawyer discovers 95% of accident
reconstruction experts are untrained quacks -- gets
disqualification and wins case
." You'll learn how this lawyer
demolished two opposing engineers and won his case. You'll
also learn how to avoid getting cheated by crackpot "experts."
As the economy deteriorates, more and more washed up engineers are
entering the litigation consulting business because they cannot
do anything else for a living. Usually, these people have little or
no real training in accident forensics from any
legitimate accident reconstruction schools.  
Now, more than ever, lawyers need to be careful and 
not assume the experts they hire 
are properly trained and qualified.

Here are four examples of lawyer's comments 
concerning Mr. Sal Fariello, published author 
in the fields of accident reconstruction, 
biomechanics, motor vehicle technology, and 
airbag injury causation and defects.

 

Here's an example of a cervical & lumbar
injury case:

Ms. Leah Guerry
Louisiana Trial Lawyers Association
P.O. Box 4289
Baton Rouge, LA  70821

Re: CDC No: 2003-12821, Div. "M"(7)

Dear Leah:

    "I recently successfully concluded the above titled and numbered case. 
I had the occasion to retain and use a highly credentialed expert ... Sal Fariello. 
Mr. Fariello's reputation is impeccable. He selects cases from both the plaintiff 
and defense bar. He is a certified accident reconstructionist and bio-mechanist. 
I would recommend him highly to members of the Louisiana 
Trial Lawyers Association."

Yours very truly,
Walter A. Robelot, Esq.

Here's an example of the criminal defense work we 
have done:

People of State of Michigan v. P. Nickel, Case No. 03-32971-FH
Circuit Court, Monroe County
Judge: Hon. Michael LaBeau

"Sal Fariello was absolutely instrumental in the recent acquittal of my 
client on four capital charges related to an OUIL (DUI) accident 
causing death. Mr. Fariello's expertise in Accident Reconstruction, 
Bodily Injury Biomechanics and Human Factors carried the day in an 
otherwise unwinnable and tremendously complex physical evidence case. 
I can unequivocally recommend him to my fellow counsel."
 

Gary M. Wilson, Esq.
Wilson & Cain, P.C.
16845 Kercheval Ave., Suite 6
Grosse Pointe, MI 48230

Here's an example of how we have helped 
lawyers get other "experts" disqualified relying in
part on Wilson v. Woods, 163 F.3d 935:

Sullivan v. Austin
Docket #SSX-L-462-98
Superior Court, Sussex County, New Jersey
Judge: Hon. Karen Russell

Dear Mr. Fariello 

 "As a result of your guidance and suggestions I was able to bar the 
defendant's licensed professional engineer from testifying about 
accident reconstruction. As a result of that ruling, the defense also 
withdrew their second expert, who was a mechanical engineer.

    As a result of the defense's lack of ability to call any experts, 
and the fact that the jury was persuaded by your testimony, a substantial 
verdict was returned on behalf of the plaintiff. It never would have 
happened without your diligence, enthusiasm and great help."

Here's an example of an airbag case (many more
testimonials about airbag cases are posted on the
REFERENCES page):

 

"Sal Fariello is the kind of expert that will make you appreciate him 
early on in a case. His insight can not only solidify your case, it can 
save your firm from making unnecessary expenditures. I was truly 
impressed in a recent [airbag] case where Sal was willing to drive over 
400 miles to visit our sick client so he could make the extra measurements 
he needed to seal his position. He is a straight shooter who truly cares about 
the people and the clients he works with. I look forward to working 
with him again."

Jeff M. Meyerson, Esq.
The Meyerson Law Firm, P.C.
Austin, TX
(512) 330-9001

NOTE: This airbag case in which Sal Fariello
was the sole expert settled for 
3.9 million dollars.
