Commentary
I certainly am not here to speculate about what happened. However, people may be quick to assume the accident is open-and-shut since someone has been charged. Different charges can create more complex situations than others, though.
For example, I've handled hundreds of fatal accident cases early in the morning where it turned out alcohol was a factor. When a drunk driver causes a crash, things may seem straight-forward. But those situations can lead to additional investigations into where the alcohol came from. If a driver is unlawfully over-served by a bar, and it leads to a fatal accident, the alcohol provider may also need to be held responsible for their role in the accident.
That's just one example, to be clear, but it helps illustrate how much work can go into getting a family the resolution they deserve. During a time of indescribable hardship, the least that can be done is to ensure the family has all the facts and knows there will be full accountability for those responsible for the accident.
