Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a single-vehicle crash sends someone to the hospital with serious injuries, it’s easy to assume the driver made a mistake. But in many cases, that assumption misses deeper—and potentially more important—factors.
1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
A truck veering off the road and hitting a tree suggests something unexpected happened. Was it driver distraction? A sudden mechanical failure? An obstacle in the road? Weather? Without a full crash reconstruction—measuring skid marks, inspecting the road surface, and examining the vehicle—those questions can go unanswered, leaving only guesses.
2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
GMC trucks, like all vehicles, rely on many systems working together—brakes, steering, suspension, tires. If even one of those fails, the results can be catastrophic. If the vehicle was towed and scrapped without an inspection, any chance of identifying a mechanical cause may already be gone.
3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Many modern trucks store electronic crash data showing speed, brake usage, and steering behavior in the moments before impact. If retrieved quickly, that data can explain whether the driver lost control—or if the vehicle itself behaved unpredictably.
Efren Ramirez was seriously hurt in this crash. The right questions still need to be asked to determine whether this was simply a case of human error—or whether something else set it in motion.
Key Takeaways:
- Crash reconstruction should consider all possible contributing factors, including road conditions and mechanical failure.
- A detailed inspection of the vehicle is critical in single-car crashes.
- Electronic data may offer insight into vehicle dynamics leading up to the crash.
