Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
My concern when reading reports like this is if authorities have been continuing to work behind the scenes to get answers. It often surprises people when families end up getting as little information as the general public. Sometimes, authorities just decide they have more important priorities to focus on.
That’s why I generally rely on independent accident reconstructions after serious truck accidents like this. It’s best not to take for granted that authorities are going to get a family the answers they deserve without some kind of safety net. If independent investigations don’t reveal anything new, they can at least confirm for a family that they’re getting the whole story. But if there are details that authorities let slip through the cracks, those details can finally be brought to light.
