Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Crashes involving multiple injuries often raise questions that go far beyond who hit whom. When early reports are light on details, it’s worth asking whether anyone dug deep enough to get the full story.
1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Rear-end collisions may seem straightforward, but things like speed, spacing, and reaction time all matter. If officers didn’t closely examine those factors—or review onboard systems—their conclusions might be based on assumptions.
2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
If the Jaguar failed to slow down, it’s fair to ask whether brakes or collision-avoidance systems were functioning properly. Problems like that won’t always be obvious at the scene and usually require inspection.
3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Speed, brake pressure, and driver inputs are typically stored in the vehicle’s system. That data can make or break an investigation. If it hasn’t been retrieved, important answers might still be missing.
Finding someone to blame is one thing. Having clear evidence to tell a complete story is another. The latter is what victims and families need to ensure they get a proper conclusion to a serious accident.
Key Takeaways:
- Rear-end crashes deserve detailed review, especially with multiple injuries.
- Brake or system malfunctions could explain the failure to slow down.
- Vehicle data helps clarify timing and reaction—if it’s collected.
