I get tons of calls about single-vehicle accidents, and the concern is almost always the same. People are rightfully concerned that authorities might not be fully considering their side of the story. It’s actually all too common for authorities to jump to conclusions or rely on a few common explanations when it comes to single-vehicle wrecks. If they don’t focus on the evidence, they might draw false conclusions which the evidence could have easily clarified. So if authorities were more thorough and fair here, that would be good to hear. It just wouldn’t be that unusual if they missed something important due to shallow investigations.
