A multi-vehicle crash like this can actually make things quite a bit more challenging than a typical two-vehicle wreck. Between considering all the insurance involved, examining the actions of the drivers, pulling cellphone records, inspecting the vehicles for potential defects, and all kinds of other possible factors, things stack up pretty quickly. As such, it’s understandable when families feel more comfortable having independent professionals pick up the slack rather than relying solely on the police. If nothing else, having another set of eyes look things over can help ensure that nothing important slips through the cracks.
