Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

While it isn’t all that unusual for authorities not to give much information to the public, it becomes more concerning when they’re equally tight-lipped with the victim’s loved ones. I can’t help but think of all the times folks came to me about a loved one’s death looking for someone who could get the police to release their reports or to otherwise admit they weren’t giving the accident the attention it deserved. My hope is that no such steps would be necessary here and that there are answers behind the scenes the victim’s loved ones find to be thorough.
