Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Following the chaos of a multi-vehicle wreck, it’s important for people to know that their side of the story will be told fairly. Unfortunately, authorities can’t always guarantee that. That’s why it can be helpful to ask some key questions early on.
Did investigators have the time, training, and resources to properly examine what happened?
Intersections can be some of the most complex crash scenes, especially when multiple vehicles are involved. If officers didn’t have access to reconstruction tools or were stretched too thin, there’s a real risk the investigation missed something important. That can shape the entire narrative in ways that don’t reflect what actually happened.
Was any effort made to check for mechanical issues in the vehicles?
Drivers are often blamed first, but it’s entirely possible that something like a brake failure or power steering issue caused one of the vehicles to lose control. Unless the vehicles were inspected carefully, those factors might not even be considered.
Has electronic data from the involved vehicles been collected?
Most modern cars record a snapshot of what was happening right before a crash—how fast they were going, whether the driver hit the brakes, and if the wheel was turned. That kind of information can make or break a case, but it has to be pulled before it’s lost or overwritten.
Asking these questions isn’t about second-guessing—it’s about making sure the facts are all accounted for and the people involved are treated fairly.
Takeaways:
- Intersections demand detailed crash scene analysis to avoid confusion.
- Mechanical failures may not be obvious unless someone checks for them.
- Vehicle data helps confirm what drivers were doing before the wreck.
