As open-and-shut as this may seem, a lot goes into a proper accident reconstruction. It’s important to make sure authorities took the necessary steps to gather all the facts. Did they analyze the roadway? Did they inspect the vehicles for defects? Did they pull electronic data from the vehicles, cellphones, and any cameras that may have been nearby? Did they record witness testimony? These are just some of the questions a complete accident investigation should cover. If that didn’t happen, there could be more to this story than meets the eye.
