With any serious car accident, it’s important to make sure investigations are going beyond just what’s obvious on the surface. It would surprise people how often authorities go over an accident scene, call the matter resolved, and then it turns out there was more to the story. That’s why it’s important to make sure important evidence is being preserved early on. Vehicle data, vehicle inspections, cellphone records, camera footage, debris analysis—the best way to get the complete picture is to put it together piece by piece.
