After any serious car accident, it’s important to know that investigations are focusing on gathering facts and not simply skimming the surface. Over the years, I’ve simply lost count of how many families I’ve worked with who found that authorities were more concerned with looking for blame and moving on than actually getting answers. As such, independent investigations can often be a significant help. Either they can show that authorities have been thorough and in their efforts, or they’ll reveal new details that authorities missed. Either way, it’s important to let the evidence tell the victim’s side of the story.
