Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Something that concerns me is seeing authorities specifically mention poor weather as a factor here. However, it’s rarely the weather itself that causes a crash. It’s the behavior of drivers in that weather.
Our laws hold professional truck drivers to a very high standard of care when it comes to driving safely. Rain is nothing new, and any reasonably prudent professional should be able to adjust for slick conditions without issue. So what exactly happened here that caused this truck to lose control on roads that other average, non-professional drivers had no problems navigating?
How fast was the truck going? Were they on worn tires that needed to be replace? Were they following too closely? Did they have warn brakes? Were they driving while fatigued due to unreasonable hours or unrealistic deadlines? Is the truck driver inexperienced, or do they have a record of reckless driving? Could this be some one-in-a-million crash involving a defect the driver had way of avoiding?
These are the kinds of questions I would expect a thorough accident reconstruction to answer. If authorities are asking those same questions, they will likely get to the bottom of how this all could have been avoided. But if authorities instead just write this whole thing off as bad weather causing a crash, my concern is something crucial might slip through the cracks. That’s always bad, but it’s even worse when there’s a family who deserves answers about what happened to their loved one.
