Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Currently, the exact cause of the accident remains unclear. One thing to consider, though, is this sort of vehicle is usually used for work. This can create unique hurdles to consider. Sometimes employers pressure crews to work long hours or meet unreasonable deadlines. Sometimes supervisors are constantly calling and texting drivers. Other times, they may force employees to operate vehicles in poor condition, leading to sudden but preventable mechanical issues. All of that on top of the inherent challenges of a serious crash makes it unlikely authorities alone are going to properly investigate all possibilities. For a family in need of answers, that usually means finding alternative avenues to have the accident properly examined by professionals.
