How Did This Accident Occur?
If this all just comes down to a teenage driver making a mistake behind the wheel, that wouldn’t exactly be world shattering news. However, I always talk about the importance of letting evidence tell the story. It doesn’t really matter if teen drivers are often responsible for accidents; what matters is what the facts say. For all anyone knows, the Range Rover could have experienced some sort of unforeseeable mechanical or electrical failure due to a defect. Is that as common as, say, distracted driving? Of course not, but both factors deserve attention so they can at least be ruled out. Not only is this the most fair approach, but, in my experience, it’s also the most effective way to get victims and families the resolution they deserve.
