Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When two vehicles collide under unclear circumstances—especially during early morning hours—thorough investigations become even more important. With limited eyewitnesses and low visibility, here are three critical questions that can help get the full picture:
1. Have authorities clearly established how the crash happened and who was at fault?
Just saying the vehicles "crossed paths" leaves too much room for guesswork. Were speed, distraction, or road conditions factors? Did either vehicle attempt to change lanes?
2. Were both vehicles inspected for mechanical issues that could have contributed?
Even something as simple as a tire blowout or brake failure could have triggered the crash. Knowing the condition of the vehicles is key to understanding why it happened.
3. Has electronic data from either vehicle been preserved?
Modern vehicles often store valuable crash data. Reviewing that can show speed, steering input, and braking in the moments leading up to the collision—often the most telling evidence.
If authorities are able to provide clear answers, that's a good sign. But if they can't, then getting all sides of the story might require more thorough independent investigations.
Key Takeaways:
- Vague crash descriptions can lead to incomplete or inaccurate conclusions.
- Mechanical inspections and electronic data can help clarify what went wrong.
- Asking these key questions ensures all facts are accounted for.
