How Did This Accident Occur?

A crash during the tail end of rush hour on LBJ raises all too familiar red flags for people being on their phones. That’s why I make sure every car accident investigation I come across prioritizes pulling those phone records early on. But a proper accident reconstruction should also consider less common factors. There’s no telling when something unusual might lead to a crash without digging into the evidence.

For example, what if this involved a work truck that wasn’t being properly maintained? I had a case a while back where a company refused to do regular repairs, kicking that can down the road and all but forcing drivers to take these death traps out onto the road. What people might have written off as just some reckless driver turned out to be a whole system of reckless behavior behind the scenes that needed to be rooted out.

If investigators approach crashes like they’re open-and-shut, they’re likely to shut the door before they get to important evidence. Keeping an open mind and focusing on gathering evidence helps keep open the possibility that something unusual or challenging may have contributed to the crash. Maybe nothing like that happened here, but my hope is that investigators are letting the facts determine that.
