Commentary
People often see crashes involving animals in the road and figure that makes everything open-and-shut. However, it's not always just about what caused a crash. Sometimes, it's important to consider what caused the injuries. Let me explain.
I had a crash not long ago where authorities essentially moved on after preliminary investigations because they felt the facts seemed straight-forward. However, the family wanted a second opinion, so we made sure that independent investigators took a good look at the things authorities overlooked. As a result, inspections revealed the victim had a defective seatbelt. Had their seatbelt worked properly, they likely would have been okay. Instead, they suffered serious injuries.
Common or not, there can be extenuating circumstances that require investigations which go beyond the surface. Sometimes, authorities can cover that. A lot of the time, though, they miss important details in their haste. It's important victims and families know what kind of investigations they're getting.
