And if so, could an attorney use such a new car smell defense to ease a client&#8217;s legal woes? Sounds a bit odd, but just such a case is currently taking place in Colorado. And it&#8217;s also <a href=\"https:\/\/bengallaw.com\/\">important to know<\/a> a reputable lawyer if you&#8217;re ever in this scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the facts: Martin Erzinger, owner of a 2010 Mercedes-Benz sedan (model unknown), fell asleep at the wheel, drifted off the road and struck a bicyclist named Dr. Steven Milo before colliding with a concrete barrier. The unresolved questions are whether Erzinger&#8217;s sleep apnea was compounded by his car&#8217;s odors, as suggested by a forensic specialist, and if he was aware that he had struck a pedestrian.
