How Did This Accident Occur?

The current information about what immediately preceded this crash is difficult to ignore, though I wouldn’t ever suggest ignoring important context surrounding a deadly crash. Rather, my concern is situations like this is if those events will distract from careful investigations into the accident itself. Let me explain.

In my experience with hundreds of commercial vehicle accident cases, families generally just want to know they’re getting a full and fair accounting of what happened. Even if some details may be hard to hear, people would rather get the hard truth than a simple but incomplete picture.

So regardless of whether this happened during a pursuit of some kind or it was all just a misunderstanding that happened to end in an accident, the victim isn’t around to tell their side of the story. It would go a long way in alleviating a family’s doubts to know there was an independent, dedicated team of accident reconstructionists looking into the accident separate from the department involved in the events preceding the collision. Whether that’s state police or independent professionals not involved in law enforcement, the key is making sure the evidence is allowed to speak for itself.

Let me know in the comments—would you rely on the authorities to handle a loved one’s crash, or would you rather bring in outside professionals?
