Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

One of my main concerns following any pedestrian accident is whether it got the attention it deserved. Unfortunately, even authorities sometimes move on too quickly because incidents like this tend to be seen as a low priority. A proper investigation should cover everything from distraction to road conditions to signage and lighting to possible emergencies. Short of that, something important could slip through the cracks. That’s why if it seems like authorities might be considering only surface-level details, it may be time for more thorough investigators to step in and pick up the slack.
