Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

With non-standard vehicles like this, I’m always concerned if investigators are giving the accident the attention it deserves. Single-vehicle wrecks are often low on the list of priorities for the police, so there’s already a risk they’re going to let something slip through the cracks. If it’s a vehicle they’re not used to looking into, that only raises that concern further. I always talk about the value of independent investigations for that very reason, as it can help reassure people they’re getting the full story. I don’t see why this accident would be an exception.
