Summary:
McLemore Law PLLC secured dismissal for a falsely accused client after uncovering that he was not the driver in a contested red-light accident in Crossville, Tennessee. After extensive investigation, McLemore Law located the real driver—who had fled the scene and remained hidden—clearing their client and resolving the matter successfully.
Description:
Case Name: Mark Siedlecki et al. v. Shane Madden et al.
Court: Circuit Court for Cumberland County, Tennessee
Docket No.: 2CC1-2013-CV-5760
The case arose from a motor vehicle accident on September 2, 2013, at the Genesis Road exit off I-40 East in Crossville, Tennessee. Plaintiffs alleged the defendants ran a red light and caused the collision, filing suit for personal injuries.
In a confusing twist, one of the passengers falsely claimed to be the driver when police arrived—attempting to protect a friend who lacked insurance and a valid license. That passenger became the focus of the lawsuit and was represented by McLemore Law.
Despite the real driver’s disappearance, McLemore Law persisted. Employing private investigators, the firm located the actual driver months later living at a truck rental facility in Crossville. Upon taking his deposition, the truth was confirmed: McLemore Law’s client had not been behind the wheel.
With this crucial testimony, McLemore Law filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, resulting in the dismissal of their client from the case. The matter was ultimately resolved thereafter.
This case demonstrates McLemore Law’s diligent investigation, commitment to truth, and defense strategy in protecting clients wrongfully accused.
