Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Single-vehicle wrecks like this are among the most common ones I get calls about. People don’t often think they’re all that complex until they or a loved one are involved in a single-vehicle wreck. Simply put, there are all kinds of reasons this sort of thing can happen.
Manufacturing defects, medical emergencies, being over-served by a bar, road hazards, texting and driving, hit-and-run drivers that left the scene, etc. Likely or not, it’s important to consider every possible factors. The people I see with the best outcomes in these situations are the ones where authorities took the situation seriously and let the evidence speak for itself. Hopefully authorities here did just that.
