While there’s not much to go on here, I’ve handled all kinds of accident cases over the course of several decades. With just about any crash, there’s a good rule of thumb to consider that may help folks decide their next best course of action.
Basically, if victims and families find that the answers they’re getting from authorities make sense, and they don’t feel like they’re missing anything, then it’s likely authorities are doing a good job in their investigations. But if they feel they still have doubts and unanswered questions, it’s possibly because authorities are missing something important. By catching that as soon as possible, folks can work to ensure there is someone picking up the slack so they can get the answers they deserve without anything important slipping through the cracks.
