Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

With single-vehicle wrecks like this, it’s important to know how thorough investigators are being. People don’t often realize how low of a priority single-vehicle wrecks tend to be for the authorities. That can lead them to overlook important details that more thorough independent investigations might catch. Defects, medical conditions, drivers over-served by alcohol providers, road design flaws, hit-and-runs—common or not, these things happen. In my experience, families just want to know they’re getting the full story. If too much focus is on only the most likely factors, something is bound to slip through the cracks.
