How Did This Accident Occur?
Common factors in single-vehicle accidents like this can range widely, from fatigue to tire blowouts to distracted driving, to name a few examples. But one of the main reasons single-vehicle wrecks can present challenges is they can also involve subtle, challenging factors which a typical police investigation might overlook.
For example, I can’t remember the last time I had a single-vehicle3 car accident case where authorities inspected a vehicle for defects. That takes particular tools and training to do properly, and not many departs offer those resources to officers. As a result, many investigations just leave it out entirely. A thorough independent investigation, then, can sometimes reveal issues with a vehicle that authorities missed.
Maybe nothing like that happened here, but it’s important that victims and families know they’re getting the full story. Anything less than that, and it’s only reasonable they’d look to other avenues for answers.
