Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
It often surprises folks to learn that single-vehicle accidents don't always get much attention. They can easily slip through the cracks, and police reports often end up incomplete or off-base. This is why a lot of people that call me about single-vehicle wrecks find it helpful to consider some key questions early on.
Did the authorities dedicate enough time, tools, and resources to the investigation?
Rural crashes like this can be tough to reconstruct, but that only makes careful scene work more important. Investigators should have mapped the path of the Jeep, documented any signs of braking or steering input, and looked closely at the surrounding environment. If those steps were skipped or rushed, the investigation may not give a clear picture of what happened.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Unexplained crashes often point to mechanical issues. If the Jeep had a brake failure, steering problem, or tire blowout, it could’ve gone off the road without warning. But unless a qualified technician actually inspected the vehicle, those kinds of failures may go unnoticed.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
The Jeep may store crash data showing speed, braking, and steering in the moments before the wreck. That information could clarify whether the driver took any evasive action or lost control unexpectedly. But if that data hasn’t already been pulled, it may no longer be available.
If it seems authorities have answers to these questions, they likely did good investigations. But if it seems like their answers aren't adding up, then that may be a sign that there needs to be a more thorough secondary investigation.
Takeaways:
- Vague crash details often signal incomplete investigations.
- Vehicle inspections can uncover hidden mechanical causes.
- Electronic data may be the clearest source of what happened and why.
