When a crash leaves one person dead and others injured, those affected deserve to know they're getting the full story. It often surprises folks to hear how often I get calls from people who are left in the dark because authorities weren't thorough enough in their investigations. That's why it can be helpful to consider some key questions.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Did investigators map out vehicle positions, signal timing, and driver actions leading up to the impact? Were they given ample time and proper tools to help ensure nothing important slipped through the cracks. Simply put, even relatively straight-forward situations can become overly complex if authorities aren't prioritizing fact finding.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect contributed to the crash?
Sudden failures in steering, brakes, or advanced driver-assistance systems can lead to unintentional crossing into another vehicle’s path. And if seatbelts or airbags didn’t perform as designed, they could have contributed to the severity of the injuries, including the fatality. Each vehicle involved should be closely inspected to rule out these possibilities before drawing final conclusions.

3. Has all the electronic data, cell phone records, and nearby camera footage been collected?
Modern vehicles often record the last seconds before a crash—speed, steering, and braking inputs. Investigators should also review cell phone data to rule out distraction. There may also be nearby cameras at residences or business which could hold critical footage. These combined data sources are often the most reliable way to establish how the collision really happened.

If authorities can show they have adequate answers to these concerns, then it's likely they did good investigations. But if their answers come up short, that can be a sign that the crash would be better off with a secondary independent investigation.

Takeaways:

• Intersection crashes require detailed scene analysis to confirm right-of-way and timing.
• Vehicle defects or failed safety systems could have contributed to the crash or injuries.
• Data from the cars, phones, and nearby cameras are essential to getting the full story.
