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.

reconstruction experts are untrained
quacks -- gets disqualification and wins case."

Here are six 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.
(1) Here's a lawyer testimonial about
Sal Fariello's ethics:
"Mr. Fariello's
testimony has been instrumental in obtaining great results
in several of my cases. Getting a great result in a case is always rewarding,
however, is has been Mr. Fariello's level of professionalism and high ethics
that has saved me and my clients hundreds of thousands of dollars on
expert fees. Unfortunately, many experts are happy to charge attorneys
thousands of dollars to only months or years later advise the attorney
that his case lacks scientific merit. My experience with Mr. Fariello has
been refreshing because he charges a minimal amount to do a quick
review to advise whether a further analysis is warranted. He has not
hesitated to tell me many times that my theory in a case is invalid. In fact,
he has declined more cases for me than he has accepted. I am always
confident that if Mr. Fariello provides an opinion in my client's favor, that
his
analysis will be scientifically valid and his charges will be reasonable."

(2) Here's an example of a heavy truck
accident that involved injury causation
and airbag issues:
"Sal, I wanted to
thank you for your efforts in my case.
We were able to settle before trial. Your report was instrumental.
I was really concerned that we would lose the human factors
argument on medical causation and would be subject to a
large contributory negligence finding. Your opinions on driver's
conduct in the fog, the airbag as the source of the left wrist and
arm injury, and the emergency braking as the cause of the right
leg injuries is what turned the case around."

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,

(4) 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."

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."

(6) 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."

case in which Sal Fariello
was the sole expert settled for
