Faced with representatives from an auto dealership saying one thing in deposition and another during trial, plaintiff's counsel said he saw an opening to "hammer the differences" home.
West Hartford solo practitioner Hoa Nguyen represented plaintiff and BMW owner Erin Hassett during the trial. He said representatives of defendant Secor's Auto Center Inc. had conflicting stories.
During deposition, Nguyen said the defense had said that the drain plugs and alignment were covered under the warranty. During the trial, though, they testified it wasn't covered under the warranty, but was a gesture of goodwill, Nguyen said.
'I used their own words against them'
Hassett filed a lawsuit in New London Superior Court in February 2018.
