# Accident Reconstruction Expert Witness’ Opinion Regarding Plaintiff’s Lane of Travel Ignored Physical Evidence

Posted on February 14, 2025 by Expert Witness Profiler

Plaintiff, William Harrison Sims’ claims arise out of an October 24, 2019, two-vehicle collision involving Plaintiff, who was operating the 2004 BMW (“Subject BMW”). Tameca Harris-Jackson (“Harris-Jackson”) was operating the Hyundai that collided with the Subject BMW. Plaintiff alleges he sustained “severe, permanent, and life-altering injuries” due to the driver-side Takata airbag unexpectedly rupturing and shooting “metal shrapnel into his face and body.”

 Defendants procured and installed the airbag inflator during the process of “designing, manufacturing, assembling, and producing” the vehicle. Plaintiff brought this action for damages against both Defendants BMW of North America (“BMW NA”) and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (“BMW AG”), alleging strict liability and negligence from procuring and installing the airbag.

[Amanda Duran, P.E.](https://expertwitnessprofiler.com/expert-witness/Amanda-Duran/1562644) is the Defendants’ accident reconstruction expert. Plaintiff argued that Duran postulated several scenarios regarding how Harris-Jackson was driving and elected, without a rational basis, to endorse the theory that best suited the defense.
