One of my main concerns with single-vehicle wrecks is that they’re not often seen as a high priority. Authorities don’t always take the time or effort necessary to ensure all possible contributing factors get the attention they deserve. When investigations are haphazard like that, crucial details can slip through the cracks.
I’ll give a clear example. I handled a case not long ago where authorities didn’t spare enough resources to thoroughly investigate a car accident, and it left an officer in a position where they just hastily drew conclusions and moved on. What stood out to the victim’s loved ones was the claim the victim hadn’t been wearing a seatbelt, which the victim was never known to do. Thanks to more thorough independent investigations, it came to light the seatbelt was defective, causing it to fail during the crash. All due to sloppy investigation, a victim was almost blamed for a problem they couldn’t possibly have known about.
Unfortunately, oversights like this are more common than people realize. I speak to folks all the time who feel authorities were more focused on finding someone to blame than actually looking at the evidence and considering the victim’s side of the story. Sometimes, investigations will show authorities did their due diligence. Other times, investigations will show authorities made mistakes. The point is that it’s best never to take for granted that the preliminary investigations are going to tell the whole story.
