Across the countless fatal accident cases I've handled over the years, one thing generally remains consistent from family to family: they want to be sure they're getting the whole story. While many will rely on authorities to get answers for them, it sometimes turns out authorities weren't really up to the task. It's one of the reasons I try to highlight some key questions families can consider early on to determine if they feel their situation is being handled appropriately.

The first question to consider is whether investigators had the time, training, and tools needed to conduct a thorough investigation. When departments are stretched thin or pressured to clear scenes quickly, it’s not uncommon for critical evidence—like debris fields, skid marks, or vehicle damage patterns—to go undocumented. Without that information, any conclusions drawn about how the crash happened may be based more on assumptions than facts.

Second, has anyone looked into whether a vehicle defect played a role in the crash or made the outcome worse? Failures in brakes, steering systems, or even airbags and seatbelts can all have serious consequences. These days, one must also consider things like automatic driving and crash avoidance features. Such details aren’t always apparent at the scene and typically require a focused inspection that doesn’t always happen in preliminary police reports.

Lastly, was any crash-related electronic data secured? Most modern vehicles store speed, braking, and steering input in the seconds leading up to a crash. When paired with phone records or nearby surveillance footage, this information can help build a clearer picture of what happened—but it needs to be retrieved quickly before it’s lost.

These questions give authorities an opportunity to address any doubts and concerns a family might have. Either their answers will prove satisfactory and show they've been thorough in their efforts, or they'll come up short, and families can decide to have independent investigators look things over. Either way, the end result should be that a victim's loved ones are confident they're getting the whole story. That alone can be a world of weight off a family's shoulders.
