How Did This Accident Occur?

A lot of folks assume that single-vehicle accidents must be the result of a driver making a mistake. That’s not always true. There may have been something like a tire blowout or mechanical issue that led to this crash, which is why it’s always important for investigations to be thorough.

That said, a 2:00 a.m. crash always raises red flags for potential drunk driving. I’m not going to sit here and lecture about the dangers of driving drunk—everyone understands that. What gets far too little attention, though, is how often a crash like this involves a local bar who unlawfully over-served the driver. Let me explain why that matters.

I’ve had hundreds of cases involving negligent alcohol providers contributing to serious crashes, yet so many of them slip under the radar. Authorities typically only care about getting charges on the driver. Meanwhile, there could be a local establishment—who also broke the law—that might not see any consequences at all unless the people hurt in the crash happen to have independent investigators looking for them. Frankly, that doesn’t seem like a very fair outcome for victims and families.

Evidence might ultimately show that this crash didn’t involve alcohol, so I’m certainly not going to jump to conclusions here. My hope is simply that investigations have been thorough so the victims and families involved are getting the full picture. Just looking for blame isn’t likely to lead to a fair resolution. It’s more likely that knowing all the facts and what they can mean going forward will.
