Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

I always have concerns when it comes to accidents involving teenage drivers. Sometimes, authorities care more about blaming the victim than actually looking at the facts and giving an unbiased account of what happened.

This is one of the reasons I always emphasize the importance of following up with authorities early and often. If it seems they’re able to address all concerns and questions thoroughly, it’s a good sign they’re taking investigations seriously. But if it instead seems like they’ve already made up their minds, telling the victim’s side of the story fairly might require more thorough independent investigations.
