Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When serious injuries result from a two-vehicle crash, people naturally want a full explanation. But that depends on how much effort is put into collecting and reviewing the right evidence—not just what’s immediately obvious at the scene. A few key questions can help reveal whether that’s being done.
Did investigators have the time and training to get a complete picture of the crash?
Not every department has the resources to go beyond the basics, especially if no laws were clearly broken. That can leave gaps in the record—gaps that matter when trying to determine what really happened.
Has anyone ruled out mechanical issues with either vehicle?
A collision where both vehicles were heading the same direction raises the possibility of a sudden malfunction, whether it’s brake failure, steering trouble, or another issue that forced a driver off course. Unless the vehicles were thoroughly inspected, that possibility remains open.
Was any onboard or external data reviewed?
Modern vehicles often log driver actions like braking and steering. Traffic cameras or nearby surveillance might also offer clarity. If that kind of information wasn’t gathered, conclusions may rest more on guesswork than solid evidence.
Getting to the bottom of a crash like this isn’t just about who was hurt. It’s also about what comes next for those people and making sure they can tell their side of the story.
Takeaways:
- Limited resources may prevent a full investigation from happening.
- Mechanical failure can’t be ruled out without proper inspections.
- Vehicle data and video could provide clarity—if they were reviewed.
