I get calls all the time from folks who feel authorities weren’t giving them the answers they needed. A significant portion of those accidents are single-vehicle wrecks. They’re just not seen as a high priority for a lot of police departments, so officers may not be given the time or tools needed to consider more challenging possible factors, like vehicle defects or road design flaws. That’s why it can be important for victims and families to actively consider what information they’re getting from authorities. If they feel satisfied their questions are being answered, it’s likely because authorities are doing a good job. If folks feel they still have doubts and unanswered questions, it could be that there are details not getting the attention they need.
