A lot of the time when people see claims that someone failed to yield, they assume that the accident is straight-forward. In reality, there could always be extenuating circumstances to consider. Are there issues with signage at the crossing? Was the driver who failed to yield working at the time? Were they rushing to meet a deadline? Were they on their phone? Have authorities inspected the vehicles for potential defects? Likely or not, investigators need to be able to at least rule out these kinds of factors. Otherwise, something important could slip through the cracks.
