Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

A commercial truck accident is bound to present unique challenges for investigators. It's important to be sure key questions are considered early on to know if those investigations are being handled properly.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?

A complete investigation looks beyond the surface. That means reconstructing vehicle movements, reviewing speed and driver behavior, and collecting physical evidence from the scene. Without that level of detail, important factors can easily be missed.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?

Mechanical problems don’t always leave visible signs, but they can have serious consequences. Brake failure, steering issues, or malfunctioning electronics might play a role—and unless someone inspects the vehicle closely, those problems can be overlooked.

3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?

Today’s vehicles—and the phones inside them—can tell a clear story. Speed, braking, steering input, distraction, and location data are often recorded. But that information is only useful if someone takes the time to secure and review it before it’s lost.

Generally speaking, if authorities are able to answer these questions satisfactorily, investigations are likley being handled properly. If the answers come up short, though, then there may need to be more thorough independent investigations.

Takeaways:

• A full investigation should examine how the crash happened, not just the outcome.
• Possible mechanical failures deserve consideration but require proper inspection.
• Electronic data may hold key facts—if it's preserved and reviewed in time.
