One of the most common concerns I hear from folks is they think police aren’t giving their accident the attention it deserves. They want to know how I can tell when to trust authorities and when to bring more thorough independent investigations. Put simply, it’s about gauging how well authorities can address a family’s concerns. If they’re able to provide clear answers and alleviate doubt, that’s usually a sign they did good investigations. but if their responses leave gaps in the story or just aren’t adding up, that may be a sign that there should be more thorough investigations to see if something slipped through the cracks.
