Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a crash between a passenger vehicle and an 18-wheeler leaves people dead and injured, early reports rarely have the full picture. The key is making sure important evidence is gathered now, while it’s still available.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Large truck collisions can be complex, and not all agencies have the tools, training, or time to reconstruct them in detail. Scene mapping, damage analysis, and timing calculations can be crucial for understanding how the vehicles came together.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Brake or steering failures—whether in the car or the truck—can cause a driver to lose control. Defects in seatbelts or airbags can also make injuries worse. Mechanical inspections of both vehicles are essential before evidence is lost.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
The truck’s and car’s Engine Control Modules (ECMs) may hold data on speed, braking, and steering inputs. Camera footage and cellphone records could also help clarify events. This evidence is time-sensitive and should be secured quickly.
Takeaways:
- Serious truck crashes require detailed reconstruction to determine cause.
- Mechanical or safety system defects can influence both the cause and severity.
- ECM data, cameras, and cellphone records should be collected promptly.
