When it comes to any serious car accident, it's important to make sure investigations are thorough. A lot of people take for granted that authorities will handle everything. However, they have their own priorities, and sometimes even when they are serious about investigations, they get tunnel vision. It can be important, then, to consider some key questions early on.
- Are authorities dedicating enough time and resources to the investigations?
Sometimes authorities move on too quickly to other responsibilities. As a result, a lot of details can slip through the cracks if officers aren't allowed the space they need to really dig into the investigations deeply. - Has the vehicle been inspected for potential defects?
Not only can vehicle defects lead to unavoidable crashes, but they can also affect safety features that turn survivable crashes into fatal ones. Failing to look into these possibilities just because they're uncommon risks letting something important slip through the cracks. - Did authorities secure electronic data?
Most vehicles collect data about speed and braking leading up to a crash. Cellphone records can provide vital insight, as well. There may also be nearby residences or businesses with cameras that captured the incident on video. This kind of data is often time-sensitive, as it may be deleted or overwritten regularly. The sooner it's secured, the better.
In general, these questions can help reveal how thorough authorities have been in their investigations. If it seems like they can provide clear, convincing answers, that's good. But if their answers are coming up short, it may be time for more thorough independent investigators to pick up the slack and fill in the blanks.
