Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

My concern with crashes involving teen drivers is that people are going to jump to conclusions based solely off the victim’s age. It is true that teenagers are statistically more likely to make mistakes behind the wheel, but that’s no excuse for making assumptions. That’s especially true when the victim isn’t around to tell their side of the story.

At the end of the day, the evidence needs to have its say. If authorities are prioritizing getting the facts and not letting any sort of bias get in their way, that’s a good sign, and they’ll likely be able to address all of the family’s concerns. However, it’s not unusual for crashes like this to need independent investigators looking things over so nothing important slips through the cracks.
