Single-vehicle accidents like this one can be more complex than they initially seem. Uncovering the full story often requires a thorough investigation. Despite what people may think, authorities aren't always 100% up to the task. That's why it can be essential to consider a few key questions to find out how thorough investigations have been.

One important question, for example, is whether investigators had the time, equipment, and expertise to carefully analyze the crash. A vehicle leaving its lane and hitting a concrete barrier could result from road hazards, poor visibility, or even an attempt to avoid an obstacle. Did authorities document tire marks, debris, and environmental factors like lighting and road design? Without the right tools and enough time to properly analyze intricate details, key pieces of evidence may go unnoticed.

Another critical consideration is whether a vehicle defect contributed to the crash. Sudden mechanical failures, such as steering or brake malfunctions, can make it difficult for a driver to maintain control. Additionally, safety equipment like seatbelts or airbags might fail to work properly, worsening the injuries. A comprehensive inspection of the vehicle is necessary to identify any potential defects.

Finally, was electronic data collected and reviewed? Modern vehicles store key information in their Engine Control Modules (ECMs), including speed, braking, and steering inputs leading up to the crash. Additional evidence, like cellphone activity, GPS data, or nearby surveillance footage, could also provide valuable insights. However, this is often time sensitive, and authorities can let the evidence degrade or be overwritten if they drag their feet.

At the end of the day, authorities may be able to reassure victims and families that they're being thorough in their efforts. I've had many cases, though, where authorities came up short, and it became clear that getting to the bottom of things required a second, more thorough independent investigation. One way or the other, being proactive can help victims and families decide what path forward is best for them.
