Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Single-vehicle accidents make up a significant portion of the calls I get from families. It's no wonder why—people rightfully want to be sure authorities aren't overlooking the victim's side of the story. That's why it can be helpful to consider some key questions early on in the investigations.
1. Did investigators have the training and equipment to fully examine the scene?
In single-vehicle crashes, it’s easy for authorities to assume the driver was at fault. But without a full reconstruction—mapping the vehicle’s path, analyzing tire marks, and checking for contributing factors—those conclusions may not hold up.
2. Was the vehicle inspected for mechanical problems?
A sudden steering issue, brake failure, or tire blowout can cause a driver to lose control without warning. These problems often go unnoticed unless someone specifically looks for them.
3. Was any electronic data from the vehicle collected?
Many vehicles now store detailed information about speed, braking, and steering in the moments leading up to a crash. That data can help confirm whether the driver was reacting to something beyond their control—but it’s only useful if someone moved quickly to preserve it.
Sometimes, authorities show they were thorough and considered things from all angles. Other times, they may show there were shortcomings. Either way, these questions can help people decide what next course of action is best for them.
Takeaways:
- It’s unclear whether the crash was fully reconstructed.
- Mechanical issues may have gone undetected.
- Electronic data could provide answers—if it was recovered.
