Folks tend to assume authorities work behind the scenes to gather more information, and eventually they cover all of the facts. In reality, they often can miss important details and even make mistakes. It would surprise folks to see how many calls I get from families who lost a loved one and feel authorities aren’t telling them the whole story. Sometimes, independent investigations show authorities mishandled the investigations. Other times, investigations can confirm what authorities know and at least get some closure for the family. But simply relying solely on the authorities after a deadly car accident can often lead to doubts and unanswered questions.
