With single-vehicle wrecks, there can be a concern about how thorough authorities were in their investigations. They often put these kinds of wrecks low on their list of priorities, and that can lead them to move on before they’ve really given a crash the attention it deserves. A proper accident reconstruction should be able to consider anything from tire blowouts to vehicle defects to road hazards to lack of lighting or signage. Likely or not, it’s the evidence that should have the final say. That’s why when people feel authorities aren’t focusing on gathering that evidence, they may feel there needs to be a second set of eyes looking things over.
