Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a vehicle leaves the road and then overturns after over-correcting, it often points to a sudden and unexpected chain of events. Understanding what triggered that first veer is key to getting a complete picture of what happened.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
In a case like this, investigators should carefully document the Chevy’s path, measure any skid or yaw marks, and map where the first departure from the roadway occurred. Over-corrections often leave distinct evidence about steering input and speed, but those details can only be uncovered through precise scene work. Whether those steps were taken depends on the training and resources available to the investigating officers.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Mechanical problems like steering malfunctions, brake failures, or tire blowouts can cause a driver to suddenly veer off course. Likewise, suspension or stability issues may make an over-correction more likely to result in a rollover. Unless the Suburban undergoes a thorough inspection, there’s no way to rule out the possibility of a defect contributing to the crash.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Most modern SUVs carry event data recorders that capture speed, braking, and steering inputs in the seconds before a crash. Retrieving this information could confirm whether the driver attempted to slow down, swerved abruptly, or lost control due to a sudden failure. Additional evidence may also be available from GPS devices, phones, or even nearby cameras.
Getting to the truth in a crash like this requires examining the scene evidence, the vehicle itself, and the digital record so that no contributing factor is overlooked.
Takeaways:
- Overturns following over-corrections require precise scene reconstruction to explain why control was lost.
- Mechanical inspections are key to identifying hidden steering, brake, or tire failures.
- Vehicle data can confirm whether the driver’s inputs matched an expected response.
