Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
With any serious accident, things can be more complex than people may realize. It can take thorough investigations to make sure nothing important slips through the cracks. In my experience, authorities aren't always up to that challenge. That's why it can be important to ask some key questions.
First, did investigators have the time, tools, and training to fully examine the crash? A head-on collision could result from road conditions, visibility issues, or sudden driver actions. Were skid marks, debris, and environmental factors like lighting and signage carefully documented? Without a detailed analysis, key evidence might go unnoticed.
Second, could a vehicle defect have contributed? Mechanical issues like brake or steering failures, or safety system problems such as faulty airbags or seatbelts, might explain how or why the crash occurred or why injuries were so severe. A thorough inspection of both vehicles is necessary to rule out any potential defects.
Finally, was all electronic evidence preserved? Data stored in the vehicles’ Engine Control Modules (ECMs) can provide insight into speed, braking, and steering before the crash. Cellphone records, GPS data, or nearby surveillance footage could also offer crucial context. Acting quickly to secure this evidence is critical.
If authorities can provide clear answers to these kinds of questions, it's likely because they did good, thorough investigations. But if their responses come up short, it can help folks take a step toward getting the investigations into the hands of more experienced investigators.
