An investigation into the accident will include a forensic examination of the crash site as well as statements taken from both witnesses and those involved in the crash. The speed of the vehicles at the time of the collision, the presence or lack thereof of alcohol, drugs, or other mind-altering substances, and if the drivers were distracted by items like food or cell phones will all be considered as investigators work to find the true cause of the collision. Statements taken from those involved in the accident can be particularly enlightening as they often reveal not only what happened from the speaker’s perspective but also their own actions and mindsets. Officers will rely on all of this before submitting their final statements on the accident.
If you’ve been injured in a vehicle accident, particularly if the accident was caused by the other person’s negligence or reckless driving, securing legal counsel is one of the first things you should do. Insurance companies will often try to talk you into a lower settlement than you deserve, one that will not fully cover the costs of your recovery. While it may seem like a generous payout initially, the costs of hospital visits, physical therapy, and other medical necessities can quickly become overwhelming if you’re not fully prepared.
