Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When two vehicles collide on a major highway, people often assume the cause is obvious. But serious injuries—especially to just one party—raise questions that deserve careful attention. A few key questions can help make sure nothing important slips through the cracks:
1. Did authorities conduct a thorough investigation?
Did police document how the crash occurred, including road conditions, traffic patterns, and visibility? Without those details, there’s a risk that assumptions could replace facts.
2. Were both vehicles inspected for possible mechanical failures?
If either car had brake or steering issues, that could change the entire understanding of the crash. It’s important to know whether those possibilities were ruled out.
3. Was electronic crash data preserved?
Modern vehicles often record vital data—speed, braking, throttle position—that can clarify what happened. That data doesn’t last forever and needs to be retrieved quickly to be useful.
These are important questions that too often go overlooked. At the end of the day, getting answers means considering all angles. If authorities don't do that on their own, then there may need to be independent investigations to fill in the blanks.
Key Takeaways:
- A full investigation should account for more than just driver error.
- Mechanical issues in either vehicle could play a role.
- Preserving onboard data is essential to getting the facts straight.
