Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Even when it seems there is an obvious person to blame after a crash, it's important for the facts to be clear. Serious accidents often require thorough investigations, but authorities can't always guarantee that. That's why it can be important to follow up with the authorities to see if they can provide clear answers to some key questions.
Did authorities have the tools and training to fully investigate?
Highway crashes like this can involve complex dynamics—speed differentials, spacing, and blind spots among them. Proper documentation isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. If the investigators lacked reconstruction tools or didn’t analyze trajectories and damage patterns, critical details could be missing.
Was the speed and mechanical condition of each vehicle examined?
When two vehicles collide traveling in the same direction, it’s easy to guess that one driver sped up too fast—or didn’t react in time. But mechanical issues like brake fade, steering problems, or unexpected acceleration can also trigger a crash and aren’t visible without inspection. Ruling out those possibilities is key to finding a factual outcome.
Was any data gathered to clarify what happened?
Many vehicles capture detailed crash data—speed, braking, steering inputs—in the moments before impact. That, combined with traffic or nearby security camera footage, can help investigators reconstruct what really happened, showing who tried to react, and when. If this data isn’t pulled quickly, the opportunity for real clarity may vanish.
If authorities did good investigations, they should be able to address a family's concerns thoroughly. But if their answers come up short, that can be a family's sign to have more dedicated independent investigators step in.
Takeaways:
- Same-direction crashes deserve precise reconstruction, not quick reports.
- Mechanical faults can mimic driver error and need proper inspection.
- Crash data or video evidence may be the clearest window into what occurred.
