Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When three vehicles collide and multiple people are hurt, early reports rarely explain the full sequence of events. The best way to get clear answers is to secure all possible evidence quickly.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Multi-vehicle collisions are complex, and not all agencies have the tools, training, or time to map scenes precisely and piece together the chain of impacts. Without that work, key details can go undocumented.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Brake failures, steering issues, or even seatbelt and airbag defects can influence both the cause and severity of injuries. Each vehicle should be inspected promptly before evidence is lost.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Engine Control Module (ECM) data from each vehicle, along with any camera footage and cellphone records, can help determine driver actions and timing. This evidence is time-sensitive and should be preserved immediately.
Takeaways:
- Multi-vehicle crashes require advanced scene reconstruction to find the cause.
- Mechanical or safety system defects can play a role in both cause and outcome.
- ECM data, cameras, and cellphone records are vital to a clear account.
