URGENT - Car Accident GPS Details

Can someone please tell me if the Laps and Run Distance are recorded in minute by minute, second by second or microsecond by microsecond detail as I pause, stop etc.. Down to what level of accuracy by time and distance can I find, as I trace my route map, pausing moving along with GPS Coordinates.

I was hit by a car who did not look both ways. I actually imported the file into Google Earth. I am still figuring google earth.

Depends on which settings you had on, but the minimum available is 1s interval. You’ll see the timestamps if you open the workout recording with a text editor.

I was running with a 245 using My Workouts feature. Basically run 14 1Mile intervals. Where or how do I open the workout recording? I exported to CSV no luck. The FIT file I can't read.

I figured it out, it's in the FIT file. I found a mac app to open it. It varies between 1s and 3s.

Can such a file be successfully used in a court of law as evidence that I was hit by a car? I have a GPS tracker in my phone, and I hope it managed to record somehow the moment the car hit me. It happened in a park, and the driver did look both ways and didn’t even turn the sidelights on so I could see where he was headed.
I’ve already hired a car accident lawyer from https://puschnguyen.com/houston-car-accident-lawyer/ and hope to use every opportunity to prove the driver's guilt because someone needs to cover the hospital expenses. I was hit in the head and had to spend three days under doctors’ surveillance.

Unlikely, given that such files are easily spoofed.
