In the town of Čakovec, a traffic accident occurred involving a motor vehicle colliding with a dog. According to the plaintiff, the dog was struck by the vehicle, and the plaintiff asserts the need for compensation for damages. Expert examination was conducted seven years after the incident, based on the analysis of case files and relevant evidence. Reports from traffictechnical experts were taken into consideration, encompassing aspects such as vehicle mass, collision speed, the location of the impact on the animal on the road, and the manner and speed of the animal's movement at the moment of impact. Additionally, veterinary findings after four days of the accident were analyzed, concluding that the dog Bufi was entirely clinically healthy. The aim of the expert examination was to determine the possibility that the dog did not sustain any injuries after the traffic accident and to explore the timeframe within which potential injuries would be visible, particularly in the case of contact with a motorcycle. Furthermore, it was necessary to ascertain the weight of the dog Bufi at the time of the accident. After a thorough analysis of all relevant facts, photographs, and expert opinions, it was concluded that Bufi would likely have suffered severe injuries that would seriously jeopardize his life. In the event of survival, recovery would take months, implying that the visibility of the injuries would be prolonged, far beyond four days. Additionally, the dog's weight at the time of the traffic accident, according to expert assessment, did not significantly deviate from the weight determined by the examiner. In conclusion, considering the overall picture of the presented facts, there is no evidence of a direct impact and run-over of the dog by the motorcycle, which favors the defendant and such a conclusion is supported by the expert analysis of traffictechnical experts and veterinarians.
