Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a crash is reported with few details, it’s a reminder of how much work goes into uncovering what really happened. A complete investigation depends on looking at more than just the obvious.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Not every agency has the tools, training, or time to perform a full reconstruction. Careful scene mapping and analysis are needed to confirm how the vehicles moved and collided.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Mechanical failures like brake or steering problems—and even seatbelt or airbag defects—can determine both the cause and the severity of injuries. Inspections are needed before evidence is lost.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Engine Control Module (ECM) data, nearby cameras, and cellphone records can reveal speed, braking, steering input, or distraction. These details often make the difference between speculation and proof.
Takeaways:
- Early reports rarely tell the full story of a crash.
- Vehicle defects can play a role in both cause and outcome.
- ECM data, cameras, and cellphone records are key pieces of evidence.
