Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
With single-vehicle wrecks, it's important to know how thorough authorities are being in their investigations. Between the chaos of clearing a serious crash scene and departments not always prioritizing accident reconstruction, accidents like this can easily slip through the cracks.
That's why it can help victims and families to follow up with authorities as early as possible. If authorities can reassure them that all the facts are going to get the attention they deserve, their crash is likely in good hands. But if it seems like authorities have their attention too divided, steps can be taken to have a second set of eyes look things over. That way, nothing important slips through the cracks.
