There is a case where the judge acknowledged that it was 'based on actual experience' in a self-inflicted accident in which the driver felt that there was a spirit behind him and the car collided with the outer wall of the curve with mysterious force.
The Forensic Analysis Research Institute, a general incorporated association that appraises and analyzes incidents and accidents, publishes some specific examples of traffic accident appraisals on its official website. According to that example, the judge accepted the implausible story that the driver felt the presence of a spirit and then the car mysteriously crashed into the outside wall of a curve, and ordered the insurance company to pay for the repair. It seems that there is a case.
Traffic Accident Appraisal Case 5: A car accident caused by a spirit haunted in the back seat｜FAL
This case happened in August. As a result of the accident, the left side of the vehicle collided with the side wall, and the insurance company refused to pay for the repair, leading to a lawsuit.
When investigating the site why such an accident occurred, it was said that the road was made before
Article 16 of the road structure example, 'Superior slope of curved sections' stipulates that appropriate superficial slopes should be provided for curved sections of roads, median belts, and road shoulders that connect to the roadway. Centrifugal force pulls a car on a curve to the outside, but by appropriately raising the outside of the curve and lowering the inside of the curve, so-called banks , the centrifugal force can be suppressed and the car can run stably. increase.
However, the road, which was the road before this provision was made, had a reverse bank structure where the outer side of the curve was low and the inner side was high. The reverse bank structure is sometimes provided for drainage problems, but it is also a structure that increases centrifugal force when running.
In this case, it is believed that the reverse bank structure naturally attracted the car to the outside wall of the curve.
On the other hand, although this does not explain the spirit that the driver felt, when an appraiser investigated the site, it was found that the temperature of the side wall was extremely high. In other words, in this case, when the driver was driving with the sunroof open, hot outside air flowed in from the sunroof to the back of the head, and the driver felt that it was a spirit and misjudged. .
When I testified at the trial, the judge decided that ``there is no lie in the testimony'' and acknowledged that the story was based on actual experience, and ordered the insurance company to pay for the repair.
