One of the main concerns I hear from folks involved in a single-vehicle accident is they’re worried that authorities will only care about trying to blame them without actually considering the whole story fairly. This is a perfectly reasonable concern.

I’ve had cases where authorities were diligent and let all the facts do the talking. However, I’ve had many other cases where they jumped to conclusions, left investigations incomplete, and other just wrapped things up as quickly as possible without actually considering the evidence. That’s why independent investigators can often be a big help for victims and families. Regardless of what led to the crash, they can bring all the facts to light so the victim can tell their side of the story.
